More information on the Arts Centre

The spire atop the Theatres Building of The Arts Center, on the banks of the Yarra River, crowns the city's leading performing arts complex. Beneath it, the State Theatre, the Playhouse, and the Fairfax present performances that are the focal point of culture in Melbourne.The State Theatre, seating 2,079 on three levels, can accommodate elaborate stagings of opera, ballet, musicals, and more. The Playhouse is a smaller venue that often books the Melbourne Theatre Company. The Fairfax is more intimate still, and is often used for experimental theater or cabaret.Adjacent to the Theatres Building is the Melbourne Concert Hall, home of the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra and the State Orchestra of Victoria, and often host to visiting orchestras. Many international stars have graced this stage, which is known for its excellent acoustics. Note: This information was accurate when it was published, but can change without notice.
