The evening is targeted at 13-17 year olds and will feature a workshop with local artists Dave Court and Rosina Possingham, who will create a large-scale, immersive installation using smoke, lighting, live drawing projection and live photo feeds.

As well as featuring festive songs and traditional carols from the likes of Bizet, Tchaikovsky and Strauss, this year’s concert will also showcase a musical theatre number by Wicked and Wizard of Oz star Lucy Durack and a “tap dance extravaganza” by Tap Pack members Jan Di Pietro and Sean Mulligan. Rising ballet star 10-year-old Mietta Brookman will join special guest Father Christmas on stage to perform a special Christmas dance routine.

Singer-songwriter and guitarist Dan Sultan is playing a solo show to the Governor Hindmarsh tonight as part of a short national tour. Sultan’s latest release is Killer Under a Blood Moon, but The Gov says he will be playing tunes from all his albums, “as well as a few new surprises”. Doors open at 7.30pm, and there will be two sets – starting at 9.20pm and 10.20pm. Last time we checked, tickets were still available.

Moonlight Cinema

Moonlight outdoor cinema continues at Botanic Park this weekend with a mix of science-fiction and animated films. Tonight’s film – First Man – stars Ryan Gosling as astronaut Neil Armstrong in his quest to become the first man to walk on the Moon. Tomorrow night’s film, Bumblebee, centres on the Transformers character of the same name who finds refuge in a junkyard in a small Californian beach town. Other upcoming screenings are popular children’s animation Incredibles 2 (Sunday), Love Actually (Tuesday), Bad Times at the El Royale (Wednesday) and Elf (Thursday). Gates open at 7pm, with films starting at sundown. Moonlight Cinema runs until February 17. Keep an eye on Facebook for possible cancellations due to the weather.
