Celebrating 65 years of Australian-Thai bilateral relations, Thailand present one of the country’s most significant dance performances, Khon: Exquisite Masked Dance Drama of Thailand, for two exclusive events. Having toured internationally, the Sydney Khon performances will consist of an invite only gala performance of Thai Khon at Sydney Opera House (Monday 28 August) and a special presentation and workshop at Casula Powerhouse Arts Centre (Wednesday 30 August).

The Khon performance at the Opera House celebrated the 84th birthday anniversary of Her Majesty Queen Sirikit of Thailand on 12 August 2016 by supporting Her Majesty’s desire to preserve Thai arts and promoting Thai culture worldwide. For one night only, the audience will get a chance to see this Thai extravaganza, as well as the performers’ glittering handmade costumes and tantalising live music.
