Finally in wide U.S. release (January 2008) nearly two years after being filmed at the Sydney Opera House on March 17, 2006, Olivia Newton-John makes a triumphant return to the land she calls home in her new concert DVD, Olivia Newton-John and the Sydney Symphony: Live at the Sydney Opera House . It was introduced as a pledge-drive premium for local PBS stations in an edited version in the late fall of 2007, but the full-length DVD is now available.

Olivia was actually born in Cambridge, England, but her family emigrated to Melbourne (Australia's second-largest city behind Sydney, and the capital of the state of Victoria) when she was the age of five. She has received the United Kingdom's OBE (Order of the British Empire), essentially the highest honor (er, make that "honour") possible short of being declared a Dame (the same as being knighted, whereas the gentleman would henceforth be referred to as "Sir"). She has also received the Order of Australia (AO--and no, it's not supposed to be "OA"); received a 1978 Golden Globe Award nomination for Best Actress in a Comedy or Musical for her performance in "Grease"; and has received four Grammy Awards and eight additional Grammy nominations. Suffice it to say that Olivia Newton-John has been an extremely popular all-around entertainer, globally as well as in the U.S. and in the British Commonwealth, for more than 35 years.

The DVD is about 95 minutes long. It consists of the concert, interspersed with clips of Olivia, her then 20-year-old daughter Chloe Rose Lattanzi (her dad is Olivia's ex-husband, actor Matt Lattanzi), and touring band walking around Sydney and then taking the ferry northeast across Sydney Harbour in a light rain to the sleepy and charming suburb of Manly, enjoying fish 'n' chips and ice cream.
