The Awards, produced by Live Performance Australia, recognise distinguished achievement and excellence in Australia’s live performance sectors, including musical theatre, contemporary music, comedy, opera, classical music, theatre, dance and physical theatre, children’s presentations, regional touring and cabaret.
Destination NSW Chief Executive Officer Sandra Chipchase said she was pleased Sydney would continue to be the home for the awards.
“Sydney is the creative and cultural capital of Australia, and the natural home of events like the Helpmann Awards, so we are delighted that NSW will host the Awards again in 2015 and 2016,” Ms Chipchase said.
“NSW is the home to major awards ceremonies in the film, television and music industries. These include the AACTAs, the ARIAs and the ASTRAs, all of which have been secured or supported by Destination NSW. This announcement continues Destination NSW’s commitment to the creative arts industry.
“Since its inception in 2001 the Helpmann Awards have grown significantly, and now receive major recognition both nationally and internationally. I look forward to seeing them develop even further in Sydney over the next two years,” she said.
The Awards will be held on 27 July at the Capitol Theatre in 2015. Tickets will go on sale later in the year.
