About Canberra Theatre Centre

The Canberra Theatre Centre is Canberra’s premier multi-venue performing arts complex, nestled in Civic Square at London Circuit. Comprised of Canberra Theatre, The Playhouse, and The Courtyard Studio, plus the interconnected Link, it hosts a wide range of performances from opera and dance to theatre and contemporary showcases. Each venue offers distinct seating experiences and intimate to grand-scale stages. We’ve got you covered with seating layouts, transportation options, parking details, and nearby hotel and dining recommendations to help you plan a seamless arts night in Canberra.

Key facts at a glance: Canberra Theatre seats 1,239, The Playhouse 614, and The Courtyard Studio 92. A transformation plan introduces Lyric Theatre with about 2,000 seats in the future, while the Centre itself continues to host a vibrant lineup. Whether you’re catching an intimate recital or a major production, secure your seats with confidence through our trusted connections.

Parking includes free evening parking (Wed–Sun after 5:30pm) at City Hill and Canberra Olympic Pool car parks. Theatre Lane car park is closed, but there are additional city car parks nearby. The venue sits about a 3-minute walk from Canberra City Interchange and roughly a 10-minute stroll to Alinga Street Light Rail, with taxis and drop-off points available on site. Nearby hotels such as A by Adina Canberra (1 Constitution Ave) and Novotel Canberra (65 Northbourne Ave) frequently feature in event packages. The Canberra Theatre Centre has hosted renowned ensembles like Opera Australia and the Sydney Dance Company, and historic performances by Dame Margot Fonteyn in 1970.
