State Theatre Centre of Western Australia, Theatre complex in Perth, Australia
Description
The State Theatre Centre of Western Australia is a modern theatre building in Perth containing three separate performance spaces for different types of events. These venues include a main theatre, a smaller studio space, and an outdoor courtyard for shows and gatherings.
History
The building came about after an international design competition won by Kerry Hill Architects in 2005, with construction starting in 2007 and finishing in 2011. This development marked an important addition to Perth's performing arts infrastructure.
Culture
The main theatre bears the name of Perth-born actor Heath Ledger and serves as a venue for local and international productions. These spaces function as gathering places where the city's performance community comes together.
Practical
The complex provides different seating areas in its various rooms, creating different sightlines and viewing experiences. It is helpful to check the location of the different performance spaces before your visit and expect to walk to reach the correct venue.
Did you know?
The interior spaces are fitted with wooden elements and acoustic features specifically designed for exceptional sound quality during theatre and music performances. This thoughtful construction means that every visitor experiences clear acoustics regardless of where they sit.
