"Frontier Touring Company is Australia's foremost contemporary music touring company, and during our thirty years in business we have bought the biggest names in music to these shores. Finding a special gift for them as an enduring memory of the time they spent in Australia is difficult but essential. The Global Icons crystal representation of the Sydney Opera House is the best solution ever. The fact that it contains an actual piece cut from the existing walls of the iconic building itself and is easily seen in the crystal has made it the absolutely perfect gift. Our performers and their managers have adored their gift, some saying that it was something they would always treasure.
