6 Theatre Building within Arts Precinct in Melbourne, Australia

The most visibly intriguing architecture in the Arts Centre Melbourne complex is the Theatre Building. Beneath this dramatic, 531 foot lattice spire –designed by architect Sir Roy Burman Grounds and opened in 1984 – are three performing arts venues. The enormous stage of the State Theatre hosts operas, ballets and plays for audiences up to 2,077. The adjacent Playhouse is more intimate with 822 seats. It also features plays plus dances. The third facility beneath the bird-like wings of the Arts Centre is the Fairfax Studio. This 376 seat theatre stages smaller productions often by resident actors.
