A WORLD OF ENTERTAINMENT

The Australian Open is the world’s biggest stage for tennis every January. In 2009, your festival experience will be complete with a sensational daily line-up of live entertainment presented on stages at Melbourne Park.

Many events are free and available to everyone who holds a Series Package, Single Session Ticket or Ground Pass. Tickets for other premium shows and concerts can be purchased as an add-on to your tennis ticket.

SPIEGELWORLD


Direct from New York , where it has entertained thousands of Manhattan party-goers over the last three summers, Spiegelworld is coming to Australian Open 2009. Appearing for the first time in Australia, this ultra-cool carnival village will take over The Oval outside Rod Laver Arena, providing the Australian Open with an exciting festival hot-spot. At the heart of Spiegelworld is a beautiful, historic European Spiegeltent.

With its opulent décor of mirrors, wooden panelling and velvet, this fully air-conditioned, intimate 300-seat venue will host a brilliant program of entertainment including the daring circus-meets-burlesque variety show, Absinthe, Open Late Concerts and Tennis Family Circus.
