State Theatre (Melbourne)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The State Theatre is part of the The Arts Centre located by the Yarra River and St Kilda Road, the city's main thoroughfare. The State Theatre is a venue for ballet, opera and other productions (but not plays, which are performed elsewhere). Like the other performance venues within the Arts Centre, the State Theatre is underground.
Companies performing opera in the State Theatre include Opera Australia (which has presented seven or eight operas each season) and Melbourne City Opera. In the future, it is anticipated the Victorian Opera, created in November 2005 after the separation between the Sydney and Melbourne "wings" of Opera Australia, will also be making appearances there.
