Ian Potter State Theatre | Reopen 2027

As part of Reimagining Arts Centre Melbourne, the State Theatre will close for refurbishment from April 2024, for the first time after 40 years of hosting world-class performances.

As part of Reimagining Arts Centre Melbourne, we are refurbishing the heritage State Theatre. For the first time, patrons with mobility challenges can choose to sit across all three seating levels and ticketing reserves in the State Theatre.

New Name: Ian Potter State Theatre


The State Theatre will return with a new name: Ian Potter State Theatre, after a $15 million pledge by the Ian Potter Foundation towards its renovation and refurbishment program

Resident companies The Australian Ballet and Opera Australia have been offered performance dates at The Regent Theatre as an alternative while the theatre is closed. Arts Centre Melbourne remains open throughout the works and you can continue to enjoy performances and events in the Fairfax Studio, the Playhouse, Hamer Hall and Sidney Myer Music Bowl.

Regent Theatre



After talks with the state government and production companies, the Arts Centre has chosen the Regent Theatre on Collins Street as its "alternative venue'" for Melbourne's biggest and most prestigious shows.
