Kylie set to go ‘on stage’ at Mildura Arts Centre this year

Published on 06 January 2017

Mildura Arts Centre will host an international first later this year as the first regional location in Australia to feature the Kylie On Stage exhibition.

The major exhibition celebrates pivotal moments from Kylie Minogue’s highly successful concert tours and has so far only been shown at Arts Centre Melbourne, attracting almost 200,000 people.

The free exhibition is based on Kylie’s spectacular stage wardrobe and includes costumes from tours including Disco in Dreams (1989) right through to more recent performances, such as last year’s Kylie Me Once.

Other tours featured in the exhibition include Enjoy Yourself (1990), Rhythm of Love (1991), Let’s Get to It (1991), Intimate and Live (1998), On a Night Like This (2001), Kylie Fever (2003), Kylie Showgirl (2005), Kylie Homecoming (2006), Kylie X2008 (2008) and Kylie Aphrodite les Follies (2011).

The exhibition will also feature designs, photographs and footage that explore the creative processes behind Kylie’s ground-breaking performances.

It will also showcase the works of some of the world’s finest and most recognised designers including Dolce and Gabbana, John Galliano, Julien Macdonald, Karl Lagerfeld, Jean Paul Gaultier and Australian designers Peter Morrissey and Mark Burnett.

This is an exciting opportunity to partner with Arts Centre Melbourne to present this touring exhibition with Mildura Arts Centre the first of three regional locations to host Kylie On Stage as it will also be shown at Ararat and Geelong.

Mildura Rural City Councillor for Arts and Culture Jason Modica said it was a major coup for the Mildura Arts Centre to launch the regional tour of Kylie On Stage.

“It’s fantastic to know that Sunraysia residents will be the first in regional Australia to see this spectacular exhibition in their own city,” Cr Modica said.

“And the fact the Mildura Arts Centre is one of only three regional locations to exhibit the show speaks volumes about the esteem in which our facility is held Australia-wide.”

Kylie On Show will open at the Mildura Arts Centre on 17 August and run through until 29 October
