I always love attending the Melbourne Recital centre. Perfect for international or interstate friends to show them a good time. I suggest booking a small or chamber ensemble as it is designed to bring out these sounds perfectly. Baroque music is stunning in this venue.

Went to a concert with friends . Full programme of classical pieces. Theatre seat comfortable. sound system appears very good in all areas of auditorium.

the state of art architecture alone of this building is remarkable, a positive addition to the arts quarter of melbourne, the interior commanding as well as the exterior. if you are unable to spare time for a show, at least go have a look.

fantastic venue with wonderful events always on. Went there with some friends during the year and it was a very enjoyable evening.

A simply beautiful building, with brilliant acoustics. A very intimate feel to the spaces. In part loved because the performance we saw was wonderful.
