We went to see Elvis Costello play with the Sydney Symphony at the Sydney Opera House.

Again, he rocked.

I am always amazed by the Sydney Opera House whenever I go there. it is a truly amazing piece of architecture. We are so lucky to have this beautiful building in our own back yard.

Anyways, the concert was great. the first part was a performance from Il Sogno, which was was written for the Italian Dance Company, Aterballetto, for their adaptation of A Midsummer Night’s Dream.  The second part Elvis performs compositions that he has arranged for orchestra, together with songs arranged by Burt Bacharach, Bill Frisell, Steve Nieve and Vince Mendoza. It was amazing.

I went out to see Elvis Costello at the State Theare last night as part of the Sydney Festival.

He rocked.

The show started at 8pm. Elvis came out, grabbed a guitar and started to play. He was later joined on stage by Steve Nieve who played the piano, then later another dude came out to play bass.

At 10pm, he stopped playing and then a series of encores saw him wrap up at 10.30pm.

Overall, it was great, but I was disappointed he didn't do his signature songs, such as Pump It Up, Oliver's Army, A Good Year For The Roses, etc.

I'm off to see him on Tuesday at the Opera House with the Sydney Symphony.
