On Stage exhibition at National Library shows how Australian theatre has been 'keeping the lights on' throughout history
At the beginning of 2020, as darkness and uncertainty loomed over Australia's performing arts scene, Ange Sullivan lit a single light globe on the stage of the Sydney Opera House's Joan Sutherland Theatre.
In the years since, the photograph of Ms Sullivan, the theatre's head of lighting, has come to represent a symbol of hope for the performing arts industry and has now been placed on display at the National Library of Australia as the central piece of a new collection of works.
