Immersion Activity
Sydney Opera House Performance - "Culture" with a capital "C" as we step out in style to check out a show at the world famous Sydney Opera House. Crime Time! Australia's favourite ex-pat, Clive James, and the full force of the Sydney Symphony investigate some of the most spine-tingling moments in the history of cinema music. From Bond to Basic Instinct, the music guarantees goosebumps while the narration of Clive James adds depth to the scores - and no doubt humour as well! |
