Cathedral Chiaroscuro

Prepare to see St Francis Xavier’s Cathedral as you’ve never seen it before.

Situated in the heart of the CBD, just moments from Victoria Square / Tarntanyangga, this iconic landmark is transformed into an illuminated wonder through cutting-edge projection, enveloping sound, and meticulously crafted light design.

Cathedral Chiaroscuro is a mesmerising meeting of art and sacred architecture — a shifting world of movement, colour, beauty, stillness, and awe.

A visit typically lasts around 20–25 minutes, allowing time to fully absorb the cathedral’s atmosphere as it glows with light and sound.

Step inside, look up, and let the cathedral surround you.

Live Audio Description will be delivered by Access2Arts on Saturday 7 March @ 8:15pm. Please make a note on your booking at checkout if you would like to reserve a headset to experience the Audio Description live that evening.
