Sydney Opera House Brings Goldfrapp to Light with Adamson

SYDNEY — During their recent seven-stop Australian tour, the two-piece Brit band Goldfrapp stopped at the famous Sydney Opera House for a side show. In the grand setting of the Sydney Opera House, Goldfrapp emerged as a six-piece band dressed entirely in white, and were fittingly accompanied by a 14-piece string section including two harps, on a stage set consisting of bunting and a maypole. Sydney’s own Norwest productions provided the PA system for the stop, as well as for Parklife Sydney and Parklife Brisbane Festivals.
