Sidney Myer Music Bowl
Kings Domain Gardens, Linlithgow Ave, Melbourne VIC 3000
Open-air amphitheatre with a taut aluminium-and-cable canopy shaped like a floating silver scarf.
This guide to the Sidney Myer Music Bowl in Melbourne opens on the night in March 1967 when police stopped counting a crowd gathered under its silver shell for a homecoming concert by the Seekers. It traces the venue back to Sidney Myer's visit to the Hollywood Bowl and his dream of a permanent home for the free concerts he began in 1929, a project he did not live to see built. Stand on the lawn and picture the same crowd that once spilled out across the surrounding parkland.
