We attended Phantom of the Oprah on Friday night, and it was stunning. The Opera was enthralling and mesmerizing. The singers were pure joy and the stage effects amazing. The theatre is spectacular, and the evening was so memorable. Such shows should see a relationship with a Victorian winery and there be a wine release to match the show and be served at the theatre!

My wife and I were here to attend "The Phantom of The Opera". It was an excellent performance. We managed to buy tickets for the 1st row centre seats in the Dress Circle. The State Theatre in the Theatres Building of Arts Centre Melbourne (under the spire) has one of the largest stages in the World. It is a 2,079-seat theatre used for opera, ballet and theatre performances. Hamer Hall next to it, is a 2,466-seat concert hall, the largest indoor venue at Arts Centre Melbourne, used for orchestra and contemporary music performances.

I came here to see Phantom of the Opera in November 2022. You predominately get down to the lower floors by using stairs and then at a certain point escalators which only go one way. So if you don’t like a lot of stairs, you may not be having a great time until you get to your seat. Once you’re inside and you’ve gone down the escalators to the second floor you have no internet connection. So no quick scroll of Facebook while you wait. Average prices for drinks, bottle of water was $5 at least. With all the people queuing for drinks it was a bit hard to move around. Had items for sale up on the first floor, wasn’t a very big stall but still plenty to chose from, just wish it wasn’t so needlessly expensive. $25 for a key ring seems a bit excessive.

The Arts Center is the entertainment center for Melbourne. The Arts Center has a number of outstanding venues, including the iconic Hamer Hall. The Rock and Australian Roll Hall of Fame is fascinating. The Arts Center is on the south side of Princes Bridge, you can take the tram down Swanston Street, or walk from Flinders St Station. By the way, it's easy to see the Spire.
