About

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 Ian Potter State Theatre, which boasts the largest stage in the Southern Hemisphere 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. The Australian Museum of Performing Arts (AMPA), opened in 2025, hosts 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.

Recently visited the Arts Centre Melbourne for the first time to see the Diva Exhibition that was from the V & A Museum in London. It was an absolutely fantastic exhibition that is well curated with a range of stunning outfits worn by Kylie Minogue, Olivia Newton-John, Lady Gaga, Cher. Shirley Bassey, Elton John and the list goes on! If you are in Melbourne, go check it out before it leaves in April 2026......I promise you won't be disappointed!
