Sting took the stage with a lute instead of his usual bass guitar for an evening of music by Elizabethan composer John Dowland and joined by lutenist Edin Karamazov.
It was a different type of music then we were used to, needless to say it was amazing to hear in the Concert Hall. Sting also performed some of his older songs, Message in a Bottle, Fields of Gold playing them on his lute.

Before the start of the show we were informed that only the night before Jørn Utzon passed away. This was the first evening show performed after, but Jørn Utzon's legacy, the Sydney Opera House, will live on. Over 7 and a half million people a year will still enjoy this iconic building that has put Sydney on the map.
