| Summary |
The Royal Australian Navy International Fleet Review is without doubt one of the largest and most exciting public events held on Sydney Harbour since the Sydney Olympics in 2000. The jewel in the crown is a fireworks and lightshow spectacular - the most complex, highly choreographed fireworks, projection, lighting and live action show ever seen in Australia, or even the world, and centres around Sydney's famous Harbour and Opera House.Hosted by Stephanie Brantz, ABC1 will take you to the centre of all the action as we broadcast the event live to air. The ABC will capture the action from the best vantage points on land, sea and air, including from the deck of HMAS Sydney, and from two helicopters above the harbour.You'll see Sydney Harbour come alive as never before in a 30-minute show that celebrates over 100 years of proud history of the Royal Australian Navy (RAN), and in particular, commemorates the original seven warships that entered Sydney Harbour in 1913.Fireworks will be launched from city rooftops, barge positions from Cockatoo Island to Fort Denison, the Harbour Bridge, and for the first time ever, from the decks of RAN warships. This will all be joined by a lightshow from land, warships and Harbour Bridge positions, and a full projection show on the Opera House sails, Harbour Bridge pylons and National Maritime Museum roof telling the history of the Royal Australian Navy.Live action scenes will also take place on and off ships and support boats, plus choreographed fly-overs from Navy and Air Force aircraft. The entire show will be choreographed to a soundtrack created in collaboration with the Royal Australian Navy's Director of Music, Lieutenant Commander Paul Cottier.The fireworks and lightshow spectacular will be a show that Sydney and the world will never forget.This is the finale event of the International Fleet Review held by the RAN over 20 foreign navy ships in port. ABC TV and Radio News will have extensive live coverage of the Review with embedded reporters on Tall and Navy ships and News24 will provide national live coverage of the Spectacular in high definition.
