Arts Centre Melbourne

Arts Centre Melbourne exists to enrich the lives of all Victorians culturally, educationally, socially and economically. Their goal is to bring people together to share in remarkable experiences. Nearly 40 years after first opening their doors, Arts Centre Melbourne has much to be proud of. They’re Australia’s biggest and busiest performing arts centre with the very best theatres in the country. Their prestigious Resident Companies, major hirers and the best international performing arts companies present their work on Arts Centre Melbourne stages and they engage a diversity of audiences in programming that transforms lives. 

Arts Centre Melbourne inspires and connects audiences, no matter who or where they are. They are proudly home to four Resident Companies: The Australian Ballet, Melbourne Symphony Orchestra, Melbourne Theatre Company and Opera Australia. They are also home to many of our state and national performing arts companies and major festivals including Bangarra Dance Theatre, Australian Chamber Orchestra, Ilbijerri Theatre Company, Victorian Opera, Circa, Bell Shakespeare, RISING and Melbourne International Comedy Festival.

Arts Centre Melbourne invests in world-leading technical capability and training through their Arts Industry Learning program to provide the performing arts sector with more of the skills it needs to flourish. They share stories of contemporary Australian performing and visual arts through our custodianship and display of the world-class Australian Performing Arts Collection, Australian Music Vault and Public Art Collection. Arts Centre Melbourne believe that hospitality is at the heart of a shared experience – from the moment they welcome visitors until they head home.
