Acland Precinct is alive with music and entertainment, with THREE historic venues, purpose-built in the 1920s, still going strong today.

SPOTLIGHT ON National Theatre St Kilda
20 Carlisle Street, St Kilda

One of Australia’s oldest working theatres, the iconic National Theatre Melbourne has been a vital part of our arts and cultural landscape for more than 100 years.

Over the decades the building has undergone several carefully planned renovations to adapt to new forms of entertainment, whilst maintaining the integrity of its striking Beaux-Arts architectural style.
Originally built in 1921 as the Victory Cinema and with a capacity of up to 3,000 seats, the building was one of Melbourne’s largest cinemas.

In 1935, Australian soprano Gertrude Johnson established The National Theatre Movement to ensure training and performance opportunities for young artists in Australia.

The National Theatre is home to Australia’s oldest drama school (established in 1936) and the oldest ballet school (dating from 1939).
In the early 1970s, The National was transformed into a live theatre venue with 783 seats. During this major reconstruction, the former dress circle was adapted to become the auditorium, while the stalls were converted into studios and rehearsal spaces.

The National recently celebrated 100 years of operation and secured funding from the state and local governments and philanthropic donations for the renovation of the foyer and exterior.

As well as training and nurturing Australia’s talented dancers and actors, The National Theatre hosts hundreds of performances and community events every year, providing an ever-changing program of musical theatre, dance, comedy, drama and music.
