The marquee was officially opened by the Mumm Space Odyssey Orchestra, which is made up of a group of classically trained performers, including members of the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra and Melbourne Chamber Orchestra, who performed a mega-mix of space-themed songs including Rocket Man by Kate Bush, Space Oddity by David Bowie and Intergalactic by the Beastie Boys, who performed on each of the race days.
As the Official Champagne of the Melbourne Cup Carnival for the ninth year running, Mumm has firmly established a reputation as the place to be seen, and the Mumm Space Odyssey themed marquee was the best place to embrace the atmosphere of spring racing celebrations.
