Live Entertainment in Sydney

Enmore Theatre is Sydney's most beloved concert venue — a 2,500-capacity 1908 Vaudeville theater in Newtown that has presented every significant touring artist visiting Australia for four decades. The venue's intimate scale relative to its standing capacity, excellent sight lines, and position in Newtown — Sydney's most bohemian and music-passionate inner suburb — make Enmore the room that artists and fans both prefer for the most authentic Sydney concert experience.

Hordern Pavilion is Sydney's legendary large-club concert venue — a 5,500-capacity Moore Park hall adjacent to the SCG and Allianz Stadium that has hosted the most iconic Australian concerts of the rock era, from AC/DC to Nirvana to Daft Punk. The venue's standing capacity, raw industrial atmosphere, and history as the site where generations of Australians experienced their most formative concert memories make it Sydney's most emotionally significant live music space and an essential destination for touring artists who want to connect with Sydney's passionate music community.

The Star Theatre Sydney is Australia's most active casino showroom — a 940-capacity venue inside The Star Entertainment Group's Sydney casino resort that presents the finest comedy, music, and theatrical productions for Sydney's gaming and tourism market. The venue's programming of high-profile Australian comedians, international pop acts, and theatrical productions serves the enormous entertainment demand generated by The Star's millions of annual visitors and Sydney's position as Australia's most visited city.

The State Theatre Sydney is one of the most ornate cinema and performance venues in the world, a 1929 baroque-revival masterpiece dubbed "the jewel of George Street." The 2,000-seat venue hosts the Sydney Film Festival, major concert performances, and is heritage-listed for its extraordinary interior featuring a 20,000-piece chandelier.

Sydney Opera House is the most recognizable performing arts venue on earth — a UNESCO World Heritage Site whose sail-like concrete shells on Bennelong Point have defined the Sydney skyline and the Australian cultural identity since opening in 1973. The complex contains multiple performance spaces including the 2,679-seat Concert Hall hosting the Sydney Symphony Orchestra, Joan Sutherland Theatre for Opera Australia, and intimate spaces for everything from jazz to comedy, presenting over 1,800 performances to 1.4 million attendees each year in the most architecturally celebrated building of the 20th century.

Sydney Theatre Company at Walsh Bay is Australia's most prestigious theatre company, home to two theatres in the beautifully converted heritage finger wharves at Walsh Bay. Under previous directors including Cate Blanchett and Andrew Upton, STC has produced some of the most acclaimed theatrical productions in Australian history.
