Football fans will love this event, everybody’s favourite team is coming to Melbourne when Brazil are taking on Argentina in the Chevrolet Global Tour.
For football purists the beautiful game is bringing two of the greatest players on the planet to Melbourne. Lionel Messi and Neymar Jr will grace the hallowed turf of the MCG when the two South American giants face off.
It is only the second time in the 100 year rivalry that Brazil will meet Argentina on Australian soil.
Sleeping Beauty Ballet
Melbourne Arts Centre - 16th - 27th June
Set to the timeless score of Tchaikovsky, and with breathtaking designs by Gabriela Tylesova the Australian Ballet presents the sleeping beauty. All the magic of the fairy tale by the Brothers Grimm comes to life at the Arts Centre.
Baroque golds and creams of the costumes glow with vibrant colours whilst nymphs, fairies, princes and princesses bring the delightful musical score to life.
River Rink in Fed Square
Federation Square - 1st July - 23rd July
Time for some winter fun for the whole family, get your skates out of the closet and head down to Federation Square. Outdoor fun at its very best as you take a spin around River Rink in Federation Square.
The Rink gives picturesque views of the Yarra River and the Melbourne skyline, and as well as skating there is plenty of seasonal winter-warming food and drink from local vendors on sale.
Jesus Christ Superstar
Melbourne Arts Centre - 26th July - 6th Aug
This 1971 musical by Tim Rice & Andrew Lloyd Webber made the mold for musical theatre thereafter. Jesus Christ Superstar made songs like “I Don’t Know How To Love Him” and “Heaven On Their Minds” famous around the world.
The greatest story ever told, is based on the last week of Jesus’s life, and is a historical comment on the personal struggles between Jesus and Judas. Rob Mills, Alinta Chidzey and Zoy Frangos head an all star cast.
