Yoko Ono's Lecture is a one night only show developed with site specific reference to Australia and the Sydney Opera House. A major international artist since the 1950s, Ono is a famed conceptual artist whose work is quietly confrontational and poignant. Ono's performances vary from event to event and the subject of the Lecture will not be divulged until the night. Previous performances have included such events as inviting audience members to come on stage and cut off pieces of her clothing. The live performance at the Sydney Opera House has sold out but you can join the live streaming of the Lecture .
