‘I’m a Sydneysider and I have a passion for Sydney,’ said Olivia Ansell, the newly appointed Director of Sydney Festival.
‘I know the city so well and so intimately having spent my whole career producing and curating big international moments, and moments with local artists in this city. So I really want to get in there and use those connections and my passion for the stories we can tell to reinvigorate and rejuvenate the city – and also keep Sydney Festival as one of the world’s major arts festivals and one of the biggest commissioners of international Australian work.’
