Welcome
Welcome to Brisbane Festival 2011
A message from the Artistic Director Noel Staunton
This year has been a big year for Brisbane and will be a landmark year for Brisbane Festival.
We are going to make some big statements and will leave no one in doubt there is a major arts festival in town.
For three weeks we will welcome international and national artists to perform across our city. We will also provide a platform for our outstanding local talent to share their success.
Our 2011 programme boasts four world premieres, five Australian premieres and eleven international productions. We are also very proud to be presenting three unique collaborations, that see artists from different cities and different genres unite to create original and fascinating work.
It is thrilling to be involved in the creation and staging of so many new productions for Brisbane.
Art has no boundaries. So, as September approaches, I urge everyone to show no fear, try something new, and embrace the unique experiences that Festival time in Brisbane is set to offer.
