For more than 30 years, Arts Centre Melbourne has been Melbourne's leading venue for world-class theatre, dance, music and more. In the Theatres Building, directly under the venue's iconic Spire, are three separate theatres – the State Theatre, which boasts one of the world's largest stages and hosts performances by Opera Australia and The Australian Ballet, the Playhouse and the intimate Fairfax Studio.

On the banks of the Yarra River, Hamer Hall is a premier venue for musical performances, including the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra, and the Sidney Myer Music Bowl is popular for open-air concerts. Opening in December 2025 is the Australian Museum of Performing Arts (AMPA) hosting exclusive exhibitions celebrating performing arts history and iconic objects.

A visit to Arts Centre Melbourne doesn't stop at the stage, go behind the scenes with a guided tour of their iconic buildings or dive into the magic of performance history with a tour of their extraordinary performing arts collection.
