Metro Hotels to host internationally acclaimed Drum Tao in Sydney - Sydney CBD Hotels Tourism News

Metro Hotels will host the internationally acclaimed Japanese performance troupe Drum Tao next week when they arrive in Sydney to perform their new show, The Samurai of the Drum.

Located only two blocks from the State Theatre in Market Street where the Japanese dancers and musicians who make up Drum Tao will perform three shows, Metro Hotel on Pitt will provide both a convenient and comfortable accommodation choice for the popular performers and their entourage.

Drum Tao blends the ancient traditions of Taiko Drumming with modern percussion artistry and martial arts mastery in a modern production seen by more than 3 million people worldwide. The result is a powerful, physically thrilling show that is both mesmerizing and visually stunning to watch.

The musicians, performers and management crew of Drum Tao have all chosen to stay at Metro Hotel on Pitt during the Sydney leg of their tour due to its close proximity to the theatre and Sydney’s many other attractions.

“Metro Hotel on Pitt has carved out a successful niche for itself as the accommodation venue of choice for many of the stage and theatre acts that play in Sydney,” said Metro Hotels Chief Operating Officer George Bedwani.
