CITY OF PERTH

In the evening, immerse yourself in music, as venues come alive with the sounds of local and interstate bands. If classical music is more to your liking, the acoustically magnificent Perth Concert Hall offers regular performances by the West Australian Symphony Orchestra, as well as shows by touring artists.

At the City’s main theatres, which include the Edwardian-era His Majesty’s Theatre, you can enjoy performances by the West Australian Ballet, the West Australian Opera, the State’s leading theatre companies, emerging young artists and touring acts.

Perth’s performing arts companies stage numerous events in spectacular natural settings during the warmer months of December to April. Take a picnic, a rug, and relax while you are entertained under the stars.

WElCOmE TO PERTH:

Perth is Western Australia’s centre for the arts, craft, culture and entertainment. This vibrant city is home to many of the State’s major arts and cultural attractions and host to numerous festivals and events. Here you can enjoy a diverse range of experiences all year round.

Most attractions are open daily and offer interactive experiences and guided tours to enrich your visit. State-of-the-art entertainment venues present a diverse range of theatre, dance, music, comedy and film showcasing the State’s rich creative spirit.

If you’d like an insight into the extraordinarily rich traditional and contemporary Western Australian Indigenous culture, you’ll find it here.

Whilst the Western Australian Museum and Art Gallery of Western Australia both maintain exhibitions showcasing Indigenous culture.
