Sydney Opera House celebrates 50 years with Tim Minchin and The Monkeys
The Sydney Opera House has recruited Australian composer Tim Minchin to launch a musical tribute to its 50 years of history, in partnership with creative agency The Monkeys.
‘Play It Safe’ was written by Minchin as an ironic salute to visionary experiment that became the Opera House, resulting in a four minute long music video that features the likes of the Sydney Symphony Orchestra, The Australian Ballet, John Bell of Bell Shakespeare, Courtney Act, Bangarra Dance Theatre and Jimmy Barnes, amongst others.
The work was directed by filmmaker Kim Gehrig and produced by Revolver x Somesuch.
