Festival Theatre is the largest proscenium arch theatre in Adelaide, seating close to 2000 people.
It was designed as both a lyric theatre and concert hall and is used not only for theatrical productions and large concerts, but also for graduation ceremonies, seminars, musicals, and a plethora of live artistic functions.
Its vast backstage area makes the theatre allotment one of the largest in the southern hemisphere and is much loved and wanted by companies with large sets. It also houses the Silver Jubilee Organ, a remarkable ‘hovering’ pipe organ built and donated to mark the Silver Jubilee of Queen Elizabeth II.
