Vivid LIVE is set to celebrate its 10th anniversary as the Sydney Opera House’s annual centrepiece contemporary music festival, and Solange Knowles has just been unveiled as the first act to perform.
Solange will take to the stage at Vivid LIVE forfour exclusive shows from Friday 1st to Monday 4th June, making her Sydney Opera House debut and also performingA Seat At The Table for Aussie audeinces for the first time.
The acclaimed R&B artist will perform in a 360 degree round, with audeinces able to view her incredible show from all angles in the Opera House Concert Hall.
“Solange Knowles is having her moment on the world stage right now,” said Sydney Opera House head of contemporary music and VIVID Live curator Ben Marshall.
“WithA Seat at the Table’s exploration of black American identity, empowerment and the complexities of black womanhood, she is at the molten-hot intersection of effortlessly cool music and thoughtful activism. Solange’s brilliance in combining spectacular performance with politically-charged music to create a precisely choreographed, fun and riveting neo-soul show, points to the future of R&B.
“She is the perfect artist, in every sense of the word, to occupy centre-stage at Vivid LIVE, this year celebrating 10 years of ambitious and rigorous contemporary music taking over the Sydney Opera House. Catch this rare, dazzling appearance of Solange while you can; she is the artist 2018 needs.”
