  • THE ARCHITECT by AIDAN FENNESSY Welcome
    THE ARCHITECT BY AIDAN FENNESSY Welcome The Architect is an example of the profound role theatre plays in helping us make sense of life and the emotional challenges we encounter as human beings. Night after night in theatres around the world, audiences come together to experience, be moved by, discuss, and contemplate the stories playing out on stage. More often than not, these stories reflect the goings on of the world around us and leave us with greater understanding and perspective. In this world premiere, Australian work, Aidan Fennessy details the complexity of relationships with empathy and honesty through a story that resonates with us all. In the hands of Director Peter Houghton, it has come to life beautifully. Australian plays and new commissions are essential to the work we do at MTC and it is incredibly pleasing to see more and more of them on our stages, and to see them met with resounding enthusiasm from our audiences. Our recently announced 2019 Season features six brilliant Australian plays that range from beloved classics like Storm Boy to recent hit shows such as Black is the New White and brand new works including the first NEXT STAGE commission to be produced, Golden Shield. The full season is now available for subscription so if you haven’t yet had a look, head online to mtc.com.au/2019 and get your booking in. Brett Sheehy ao Virginia Lovett Artistic Director & CEO Executive Director & Co-CEO Melbourne Theatre Company acknowledges the Yalukit Willam Peoples of the Boon Wurrung, the Traditional Owners of the land on which Southbank Theatre and MTC HQ stand, and we pay our respects to Melbourne’s First Peoples, to their ancestors and Elders, and to our shared future.

  • President's Letter
    PRESIDENT’S LETTER October-November, 2020 Dear Friends, It may seem a little premature to extend our very best wishes to you now for the approaching holidays, Christmastime and the New Year. However, this has indeed been a strange year like no other. As this is the final Foundation Newsletter of 2020, it is our pleasure to wish you, our Friends, perhaps the earliest but warmest greetings for the forthcoming festive season. OUR HALLS ARE ALIVE WITH THE SOUNDS OF MUSIC Responding to the present urgent need for accessible and affordable teaching, coaching and rehearsal space, the Foundation continues to make the Seaborn Library, with its grand piano and suitable acoustic, available to performing artists. As mentioned in the last Newsletter, Les Solomon's riveting production of The Cradeaux Canvas rehearsed in our Library and then opened successfully in the El Rocco Theatre Room in Kings Cross to claim the title of the first production to open Sydney theatres after the COVID closures. Those of us who attended a special benefit night for the ABF’s ACTober, were impressed by the actors’ compelling performances - and safety protocols. One reviewer noted the performance was ‘safer than the supermarket’. Other theatres are now gradually and tentatively reopening. Similarly, Eugene Lynch and his cast, pictured elsewhere in this Newsletter, after rehearsing in our Library, presented the first opera since the venue shutdown. Their short season of the Australian opera Love Burns at the East Sydney Community & Arts Centre, also presented according to safety guidelines, revealed the exciting emergence of a new generation of brilliant young talent.

  • Melbourne Arts Precinct Blueprint 4 March 2014
    Report to the Future Melbourne (Planning) Committee Agenda item 6.2 Melbourne Arts Precinct Blueprint 4 March 2014 Presenter: Rob Adams, Director City Design Purpose and background 1. The purpose of this report is to provide an update on the recent public release of the Melbourne Arts Precinct Blueprint (Blueprint) and advise on the implications for Council. 2. The preparation of a Blueprint to guide the future development of the Melbourne’s Arts Precinct was initiated in May 2011 by the Victorian Government and presents a shared vision for the future of the area as determined by a working group, chaired by architect Yvonne von Hartel AM and comprising key precinct stakeholders including Arts Victoria, City of Melbourne, University of Melbourne and major arts institutions. Key issues 3. The principles underpinning the Blueprint were informed by a community consultation process that involved representatives of arts organisations, residents, arts students and visitors to the precinct. 4. The Blueprint identifies that the precinct has the potential to be a vibrant and active destination and proposes that this will only be fully realised when all levels of government agree to cooperate in the facilitation of this special place. Council’s ongoing participation in the implementation of projects in the public realm is one way by which this overall vision can be achieved (refer Attachment 2). 5. The Blueprint is consistent with Council’s adopted Southbank Structure Plan and includes actions such as the streetscape improvements to City Road, open space along Southbank Boulevard and the integration of Dodds Street with the VCA campus.
