The Parkes Library was turned into a theatre last Thursday when more than 50 people arrived all dressed up for the first ever live stream event from the Sydney Opera House. In an unprecedented event for international Make Music Day, the Sydney Symphony Orchestra shared a global performance of Verdi’s Requiem live from the opera house.
Parkes was one of several public libraries in NSW joining the livestream to audiences all around the world. Australia joined the Make Music Day ‘party’ for the first time this year.
