Manchester International Festival launched last night with a spectacular show featuring Kraftwerk and Steve Reich at Manchester Velodrome. The production was phenomenal, especially the sound and 3D visuals for Kraftwerk. But the highlight was the Olympic gold medal cycle team entering the Velodrome while Kraftwerk were playing Tour de France and orbiting the cycle track… not sure who was most excited, the cycle team, audience or Kraftwerk. Then on to Albert Square for an after party.
Well done to Alex and the team at MIF09.
