Arts Centre Melbourne’s heritage Ian Potter State Theatre is now more accessible and comfortable than ever. As you sit to enjoy an incredible performance, take a moment to feel the velvet seats and tilt your head back to admire the amazing gold ceilings.
As part of Reimagining Arts Centre Melbourne, the Ian Potter State Theatre is revitalised for the future, with new accessible seating in the Stalls, upgraded seats and climate control, enhanced acoustics, and state-of-the-art theatre technology to support generations of performances to come.
The Ian Potter State Theatre is one of the largest stages in the world, and home to two of our fabulous resident companies, The Australian Ballet and Opera Australia.
Bookending the show you’re about to see is the majestic house curtain, designed by Graham Bennett and emblazoned with hand-painted Victorian wildflowers and an outspread lyrebird’s tail.
Hiding behind the curtain is a huge stage that’s equivalent to the floor space of eight suburban homes.
As the house lights dim, prepare to experience the highest standards of theatre and live performance.
We are located at 100 St Kilda Road, Melbourne, just across the Yarra River from Flinders St Station. We have our own car park and there are also multiple public transport options for getting here.
If you book tickets online, you can use the “Select your own Seat” option to choose seats straight from the map – and if you click the little camera up in the top left hand corner, we will even give you a cheeky peek at what it looks like to sit from different parts of our theatres. There are also downloadable maps available on the pages of each of our main venues.
