It started with booking Valet Parking - an easy and worthwhile detail preliminary to a good night out! Arriving and handing over the car - managed confidently and reassuringly by friendly capable staff. Dinner in Cafe Vic - delicious and didn't break the bank! Then off to the State Theatre for AIDA! Brilliant! A superb production deserving of accolades for... More

Another trip to see the opera, this time, A Masked Ball. Stunning. The venue is very convenient, easy to walk across the bridge from Flinders St station, and options for grabbing a sandwich and drink in the foyer rather than try to get a full meal in a restaurant before a 7 30 start.

We went to the opera at the Art Center this evening, probably the hundredth opera performance we've enjoyed in the last twenty years. The theatres for opera, drama and symphony concerts still look and feel plush. Acoustics are quite good and there are lots of venues inside for everything from formal sit down dinners to light snacks. Not far away... More

Went to a performance of the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra, seating was comfortable, enough room for other patrons to get past you to their seat.

Unique architecture & there is always something different to see. The artwork is magnificent & the shows are great., as is their shop & the staff are all friendly & helpful when I visit.

Really enjoyed the Sunday markets- lots of creative stalls. Great coffee at the outdoor cafe. Just over the bridge from Federation Square and the train station, so it was easy to find. We also went to a show there during the comedy festival- plenty of restaurants close by on the southbank (a pathway alongside the river). Lots of street entertainment... More

My sister bought tickets to see Danny Buoy as part of this year's comedy festival and I was suprised to see the Play House was th venue!!

We went To a live show and were amazed by the number of different areas/stages err in the building. The building is large with bars, seating areas and many toilets so everything is covered. Good restaurants near by in South bank for dinning before or after a show,

Everything, the whole venue is a buzz with wonderful theatre, ballet, opera. Staff are helpful, and comfy seats.
