Perth pays host to many spectacular events every year. For those who appreciate
the arts, there are productions from local and international opera companies
and ballet companies, and musicals and plays put on by local and foreign
entertainers. The Perth International
Arts Festival showcases international talent in the fields of music,
theatre, and film. As an annual event, the Leeuwin Estate Concert has achieved
acclaim for presenting world class performers in the idyllic setting of
a south west winery.
For those who enjoy the outdoor pursuits, Perth is host to the Telstra
Rally Australia in October and the Hopman
Cup in December to January. The Volvo
Around the World Yacht Race (usually!) comes to Perth en route, and
the Heineken Golf Classic at the Vines
Resort is the richest golf tournament in the country.
