Angel Place is a quiet, tree-lined laneway nestled between George and Pitt Streets in Sydney’s central business district. Its most striking feature is an installation called Forgotten Songs, where around 180 empty birdcages hang suspended above the alleyway. As you walk beneath them, the calls of native birds—once common in the city but now driven out by urban development—echo through the space. The soundscape changes throughout the day, capturing the shift from dawn to dusk. Originally meant as a temporary artwork, it quickly became a beloved fixture and was made permanent due to public support. Beneath the cages, plaques engraved into the pavement name the birds that have disappeared from the area, turning each step into a quiet remembrance. The laneway also leads to the City Recital Hall, blending culture and memory in a small, reflective space hidden within the city's bustle.
