As the sky darkens each night, the city is lit up in a kaleidoscope of colors set to music.

Using state-of-the-art projections, the Sydney Opera House comes to life with images of imaginary sea creatures, shimmering plant life, and an array of abstract shapes.

The big show is all in celebration of the Vivid Festival.
