Adelaide Festival of Arts
Australia is a place where many adventures unfold, and many dreams come true. Of course, there are dreams that don’t come true here, but they always lead to something else that’s probably more interesting anyway. There are many exciting festivals and special events that happen in the larger cities. and Adelaide is certainly among these. It’s a planned city, with a grid based on Philadelphia in the U.S., and its progressive ideals in the 19th century are still unfolding today. It has one of the more multi-cultural populations in Australia, and because of this there are splendid choices for different varieties of cuisine. There are also all the cultural influences reflected in the art forms, making it a lively and vibrant scene. When planning a vacation in Adelaide, boutique hotels offer something exquisite.
Boutique hotels generally are known for their unique character and attention to detail. Their size is usually smaller than the chain hotels, so the service is much more individual, offering more to fit your needs. There is a gorgeous sense of hospitality in Australia anyway, and in these hotels, it is almost an art form. Adelaide knows art forms, too, and art lovers will find a feast of attractions here. There is everything, from live music to theatre, opera and dance, installation and new media art, to satisfy everyone’s taste. If you’re lucky enough to be traveling here in late February, then you’ll no doubt hear a lot of buzz about the Adelaide Festival of Arts.
It began in 1960, and is one of the largest festivals of its kind in the world. Like the city itself, the festival hosts everything, covering most of the disciplines in the performing arts, and also including forums, a late night series, and many outdoor events. This is autumn in Australia, and the weather is rather nice, so it’s a splendid time to visit and see what’s new in the art world. The festival has attracted many prominent theatre and performance specialists and professionals in its organizational ranks, including the revered director Peter Sellars, who served as artistic director for two years. It also attracts some of the finest performers in Australia and the world, and spawned its own fringe festival.
