I just read about this and it looks pretty fucking cool imo. Thought some of the Sydney TA's might be interested

Giant screens... A full orchestra and choir... A superstar conductor... And the epic sounds of video games. This is PLAY! A video game symphony.

Final Fantasy, Metal Gear Solid, HALO, Castlevania, World of Warcraft, Kingdom Hearts, The Legend of Zelda, Mario Bros, Sonic the Hedgehog... over 20 blockbuster video games at the Sydney Opera House in a polyphonic, sight-and-sound, live music extravaganza.

Performed by the Sydney Symphony with PLAY! Principal Conductor and Music Director Arnie Roth, PLAY! features award-winning music from the biggest and best video games around. And then there's the graphics. Massive screens, cinematic in scope, suspended over the orchestra - showing stunning gameplay sequences

Hope it comes to Melbourne, but i doubt it
