01:29:47 [END PLAYBACK]
01:30:00 It is believed that the purpose of this ritual
01:30:02 is to empower the lion to fulfill its duty of bringing
01:30:06 about protection, good luck, health, and prosperity.
01:30:10 Now tonight, we are very honored to have
01:30:13 some official party to be with us tonight.
01:30:17 And on stage with us tonight, we have
01:30:19 Lord Mayor of Sydney, Clover Moore AO,
01:30:25 Deputy Lord Mayor, Robert Cobb, President of the Haymarket
01:30:31 Institute, Darren Kong, that had the dragon on our light rail,
01:30:38 and also Hong Kong Economics Trade Office, Trista Lim
01:30:42 on stage with us.
01:30:45 Now I'd like to invite all our official guests
01:30:48 to dot the eyes of the lion.
01:30:50 Brushes are dipped in ceremonial red paint
01:30:55 to dot the eyes, ears, nose, mouth,
01:31:00 and forehead of each lion.
01:31:03 Now once awakened, the lion will dance and ward off
01:31:06 all evil spirits, bringing good fortune to tonight's opening
01:31:10 celebration and the year ahead.
01:31:12 Thank you.
01:31:34 Now I'd like to invite all our official guests to tie
01:31:37 a ribbon to the lion.
01:31:39 Now the red ribbon is an ancient symbol referred to
01:31:47 in many stories and shows that the lion is tamed.
01:31:51 It also ensures the lion serves as a protector of all people.
01:31:58 [CROWD NOISE]
01:32:01 All right, so light rail down there.
01:32:12 Not inside there.
01:32:14 Not a stopping area.
01:32:15 I wish these were the ones like, like, like.
01:32:19 Those are furry.
01:32:22 Wag their butt.
01:32:23 Yeah, but it's like, rrrrr.
01:32:25 I think they're learning lines now.
01:32:31 We're just tigers.
01:32:33 I think they're important.
01:32:35 Tigers are important.
01:32:39 Has now awakened the spirits and senses of the lion.
01:32:45 Can we get a round of applause?
01:32:47 [CROWD CHEERING]
01:32:49 The lions now have come to life.
01:32:53 [MUSIC PLAYING]
01:32:57 [MUSIC PLAYING]
01:33:23 Once again, thank you to our official party,
01:33:26 Lord Mayor of Sydney, Clover Moore AO, Deputy Lord Mayor,
01:33:31 Robert Kok, President of the Haymarket Institute,
01:33:34 Tseng Kong, Andrew Yee, Hong Kong Economics Trade Office,
01:33:39 Trista Lim, CEO of SSI, charity partner for Sydney Lunar
01:33:44 Festival, Violet Romeliottis.
01:33:47 Now can we please invite Lord Mayor of Sydney, Clover Moore,
01:33:52 once again, back on stage to give us a speech.
01:33:55 Thank you.
01:33:56 Hello, everyone.
01:34:02 And I hope you're all enjoying the rain.
01:34:04 This is really actually very important,
01:34:06 because the rain is washing out all the bad spirits of 2023
01:34:10 and ushering in a new year of 2024,
01:34:13 so we can just rejoice in the rain.
01:34:15 And I think you're being very brave and very patient.
01:34:17 So give yourselves a big cheer.
01:34:21 So happy new year to you all.
01:34:24 I want to thank Auntie Bell for that welcome.
01:34:28 And I'd like to also acknowledge the Gadigal people,
01:34:32 the Gadigal of the Eora Nation.
01:34:34 And I want to acknowledge the people of the many nations who
01:34:37 live in the city, particularly on an auspicious night like
01:34:40 this, our Asian communities.
01:34:42 Tonight's street party here in Haymarket,
01:34:45 with live entertainment, DJs, roving performers, food trucks,
01:34:50 market stalls, lion dancing, and of course,
01:34:54 dragon dancing, because we are celebrating
01:34:56 the year of the dragon, specifically
01:34:59 the year of the wood dragon, which is so fantastic.
01:35:03 On stage, we have performances from Sydney's Chinese, Korean,
01:35:08 Vietnamese, Thai, and Japanese communities.
01:35:12 We are truly a inclusive, multicultural city
01:35:16 here in Sydney.
01:35:17 And tonight, we're celebrating that.
01:35:19 Luna-- Luna-- yes, that's a big clap.
01:35:22 Clap to yourselves, our marvelous multicultural
01:35:25 community.
01:35:26 And Luna-- Luna Streets is part of our Luna Festival.
01:35:30 It starts tonight.
01:35:31 There's a program of 70 events, 40 community groups.
01:35:36 It goes on for 16 days.
01:35:39 Thousands of locals and visitors can experience delicious food,
01:35:44 music, art, and performances on stage and in the streets,
01:35:48 as well as magic dragon boat events.
01:35:52 As I said, 2024 is the year of the wood dragon.
01:35:56 So many of this year's celebrations and decorations
01:36:00 are dragon themed.
01:36:02 There's a five-meter wood dragon rising between a neon-lit cloud
01:36:07 in Dixon Street Mall.
01:36:09 If you haven't seen it, you must.
01:36:11 And then there's the dragon artwork
01:36:13 across the light rail carriages, which I'm sure you're
01:36:15 going to notice as it goes past.
01:36:18 And there's an exhibition of fabulous children's dragon
01:36:21 drawings selected from 710 entries
01:36:25 right across the greater Sydney.
01:36:28 And then, of course, we've got our much-loved lion dancing,
01:36:30 which you're going to be seeing tonight,
01:36:32 a tradition that's over 1,000 years old.
01:36:35 All the city's events are free.
01:36:37 And I want to thank our partners.
01:36:40 And I want to acknowledge our festival charity.
01:36:43 And I want to say to you, thank you for persevering,
01:36:46 notwithstanding the rain.
01:36:47 I hope you have a magic, fabulous, successful 2024,
01:36:51 the year of the wood dragon.
01:36:53 Have a wonderful night tonight, everyone, and a fantastic 2024.
01:36:57 Thank you.
