During the weekend, Visa Signature guests will be treated to an in-depth ‘show-and-tell’ of the recently commenced ‘greenovation’ of Sydney’s Wharf Theatres from the STC’s Artistic Directors, Cate Blanchett and Andrew Upton, they will also discuss the theatre’s recently acquired environmental credentials and share highlights of the just-launched 2011 STC season.
Guests will also enjoy dinner under the stars, in the grounds of Wolgan Valley’s 1832 Heritage Homestead, accompanied by a quartet from the Sydney Symphony Orchestra.
