Limelight January/February 2022

Description

With 11 editions per year containing features, interviews, profiles, news, reviews and listening guides, Limelight provides unrivalled breadth, depth, liveliness and quality for discerning readers. Cover story- New Festivities- New Director, New Direction? Olivia Ansell, the new Director of Sydney Festival, discusses her vision for the Festival, her vow to make the summer event so engaging that no Sydneysider will want to leave town, and her first program. Feature- The Limelight Artists of the Year 2021- After a break last year due to the impact of COVID-19, we once again asked our reviewers and our readers to vote for the Australian and international artists who delivered performances they'll never forget. Who were they? We reveal our Critics' and People's Choice Awards for 2021. Feature- Art Attack for 2022- We preview the arts on offer in the year ahead and share our highlights across classical music, opera, theatre and dance (global pandemic permitting). Get your diaries out and get excited! Soundings- Our bumper summer holiday edition will also feature Clive Paget's round-up of the best new recordings, films to look out for over the summer and books to read, as well as Guy Noble's latest, reliably amusing Soapbox. Reviews- Our experienced critics lend their minds to productions at the 2022 Sydney and Perth Festivals, as well as the latest concerts, operas and plays. On Air and Online- We preview livestreams, cinema screenings, digital events and radio highlights to check out this summer.
