ART CENTRE MELBOURNE

About the facilities

Sitting beneath our iconic Spire, Art Centre is  Australia's largest and busiest performing arts centre. Each year they stage more than 4,000 performances and public events and welcome over 3 million people through their doors.

​

In fact, as a cultural and architectural landmark in our nation's cultural capital, we've showcased the best of Australian and international performing arts for over 30 years.

​

We're proudly the home of our flagship Resident Companies — The Australian Ballet, Melbourne Symphony Orchestra, Melbourne Theatre Company and Opera Australia — and a range of other presenters who collectively bring our stages and spaces to life.Together with our own program of performances, events and activities, we offer a diversity of audiences a distinctly multidimensional approach to participation, education and entertainment.

​

The Victorian Government's vision for Melbourne is to advance its position as an internationally recognised cultural and creative destination, as well as retaining its crown of being the world's most liveable city. As one of Melbourne's major cultural centres, sitting at both the gateway and heart of the burgeoning Southbank Arts Precinct, Arts Centre Melbourne is committed to realising this vision.
