    Should last more than 24 hours.
    Many would miss out.
    You have a whole world of audience out there!!
    Pls reconsider b4 you remove the forest.
    We don’t mind it there for a week or even longer.
    It’ll make our Concert Hall a new “wonder of the modern world”
    CHEERS.

    What an experience - I don’t think that anyone who has seen it will ever look at the Concert Hall, (or the Opera House) in the same way. The image of dozens of headlights worn by invisible humans moving up and down through the dense rainforest greenery in the near dark space with the beautiful melody in the background is one I will never forget. It was a rare and precious moment in Sydney’s artistic life, and a like many great moments, it was all too short. But perhaps its brevity is part of what has made it so precious. I just wish that more people could have had the opportunity to see it. Congratulations to the Curator and the artist.
