With a career spanning more than four decades, Olivia Newton-John has been one of the world’s top entertainers, with international success in the studio, on tour, on television and in films. In March 2006, Newton-John performed 27 of her most popular hits and songs near and dear to her heart with the Sydney Symphony at the historic Sydney Opera House. “This concert was very special to me as it combined my career as a singer with my personal roots growing up in Australia,” said Olivia. “I had the honour of performing at the Opera House for the Queen but, this night was even more special as it gave me the chance to perform all of my hits in this historic building – it’s hard to believe that I have been singing for so long!”

On March 1^st , 2008, Warner Music Entertainment, in conjunction with ONJ Productions, will release Olivia Newton-John And The Sydney Symphony Orchestra (Live At The Sydney Opera House) on DVD – a musical celebration of Olivia’s illustrious career featuring over two hours of her hits spanning more than four decades. In addition, the DVD features a personal tour of some of Olivia’s favourite spots in Sydney from the Harbour Bridge to Manly Beach, a vacation spot where she spent many summers as a child. The DVD release will coincide with Olivia’s performance at the 30^th Anniversary Sydney Gay & Lesbian Mardi Gras party for her legions of hopelessly devoted fans!

Olivia has sold more than 50 million albums worldwide, has had more than ten #1 hit singles, received numerous Grammy, American Music, Billboard, Country Music and People’s Choice Awards and an Emmy Award for songwriting. She has also starred in numerous television shows, specials and motion pictures including Grease and Xanadu, both of which are currently experiencing new life as hits on Broadway.

In 1978, her co-starring role with John Travolta in Grease catapulted Newton-John into superstardom. The film’s popularity fuelled the best-selling movie musical soundtrack in history, featuring the hits "You’re The One That I Want" and "Summer Nights" with Travolta, as well as the mega-hit, "Hopelessly Devoted To You." To date the film remains the most successful movie musical of all time. Her other film credits include Xanadu, Two Of A Kind, It’s My Party, and Sordid Lives.

Adored by millions of fans around the globe, Olivia’s ongoing philanthropic efforts have remained a major focus as she continues to give back to the community through a variety of organizations. Among them is the Olivia Newton-John Cancer Centre, which will provide a comprehensive range of services and facilities for cancer treatment, education training and research, including a wellness centre for the mind, body and spirit.
