Melbourne International Arts Festival 2008
Watch Melbourne transform into a truly global arts city over 17 days in October, at the Melbourne International Arts Festival 2008 . The Melbourne International Arts Festival is Australia’s premier celebration of international performing and visual arts and Melbourne’s flagship cultural event.
Since first being staged in 1986 as the third Spoleto Festival (with Spoleto, Italy, and Charleston, USA), Melbourne Festival quickly forged an unique identity and remains the only festival in Australia to be born from international heritage.
Held over 17 days each October, Melbourne Festival is the pre-eminent destination festival in the nation, ensuring interstate and international visitation by exclusively debuting and premiering some of the finest national and international artists and companies.
Each Festival brings an unparalleled feast of dance, theatre, music, visual arts, multimedia and outdoor events from renowned and upcoming Australian and International companies and artists to Melbourne.
The 2008 Melbourne International Arts Festival will take place between the 9th to 25th October 2008.
