Lights of Christmas, created and produced by Anthony Bastic and his team at AGB Events, returns to St Mary’s Cathedral over the Christmas period. To mark the 10th anniversary of Lights of Christmas, the show features a sound and light experience honouring St Mary’s Cathedral. It is transformed in a way not seen before, tracing the cathedral’s beautiful details using both light and colour.
The show returns to the original story upon which the customs and traditions of Christmas are based. Retold through the ages, scenes are presented as a series of dioramas represented by spectacular Renaissance artworks. A selection of Madonna and Child artworks will continue, featuring some of the magnificent Renaissance period artworks owned by the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.
The Lights of Christmas paints genuinely memorable images of various aspects of the Christmas tale and sentiment using a kaleidoscope of colours and imagery, each more vivid than the last. Sydneysiders and tourists alike can marvel at this beautiful Christmas offering – a gift to Sydney from St Mary’s Cathedral and the team at AGB Events.
For the second year, Lights of Christmas has partnered with St Vincent’s Hospital to raise funds for one of Sydney’s oldest and most respected medical institutions. Lights of Christmas provides a platform to support the 2019 fundraising project – mental health. Through innovative telehealth and online outreach programs, St Vincent’s Hospital’s mental health services offer people in rural and remote regions of NSW with access to essential specialist healthcare services that would otherwise not be available to them.
