Adelaide is a very cultured city - maybe helped by the fact that it was the only state capital settled by English free settlers rather than down-at-heel convicts.
The city’s main performing arts hall is the
Adelaide Festival Center, King William Road (tel: (08) 8216 8600; website:
www.adelaidefestivalcenter.com.au). Here you’ll find four auditoriums, the 2,000-seat
Festival Theater (home to the Adelaide Symphony Orchestra), the 620-seat
Dunstan Playhouse, and the 400-seat
The Space Theater. An outdoor amphitheater, used for jazz, rock concerts and country music concerts, seats another 600 people. Also part of the center is
Her Majesty’s Theater, located in the city itself, at 58 Grote Street, opposite the Central Market.
Another respected performing arts venue is
The Arts Theater, at 53 Angas Street (tel: (08) 8221 5644). The
Adelaide Repertory Festival puts on comedy features here, and it’s also the home of the
Metropolitan Music Theater Company, which presents two comedy productions annually.
Movie-lovers should head to
Adelaide City Cinema, 128 Hindley Street (tel: (08) 8231 5961; website:
www.greaterunion.com.au). The cinema shows 10 films at any one time. Or try the
Palace Nova, 251-274 Rundle Street (tel: (08) 8232 3434; website:
www.cinemanova.com.au) for new release art house films as well as more commercial ones.
