The 2023 Adelaide Festival officially kicks off with a free outdoor concert in Elder Park, as organisers report ticket sales are already at 91 per cent of the total box office target with four shows sold out and several others close to capacity.
Adelaide Festival will return to full strength as an international arts festival in 2023, with artists and writers from 18 countries converging on the city to take part in 52 events ranging from epic operatic and theatrical works to free outdoor experiences including an opening night concert in Elder Park featuring Spinifex Gum.
British arts leader Ruth Mackenzie has been appointed the next artistic director of the Adelaide Festival and will take up her new role in mid-2022 as current ADs Rachel Healy and Neil Armfield prepare to step back earlier than planned.
