In the evening, immerse yourself in music, as venues come alive with the sounds of local and interstate bands.

At the City’s main theatres, which include the Edwardian-era His Majesty’s Theatre, you can enjoy performances by the West Australian Ballet, the West Australian Opera, the State’s leading theatre companies, emerging young artists and touring acts.

Perth’s performing arts companies stage numerous events in spectacular natural settings during the warmer months of December to April. Take a picnic, a rug, and relax while you are entertained under the stars.
