The Australian city's festival center has just inked a deal with the National Centre for the Performing Arts in Beijing. Chen Jie asks the artistic director about what to expect.
The best-known arts center in Australia probably is the Sydney Opera House, but Douglas Gautier always feels proud that the Adelaide Festival Centre, which opened three months before Sydney's in 1973, was the first of its kind in the country.
On opening night 42 years ago, Gautier, now CEO and artistic director of the center, was a drama student at the Flinders University and had a walk-on part in the opera Fidelio.
