About the Project
The Riverside Theatres Redevelopment sets a bold vision to create a world-class performing arts centre in Sydney’s Central City to nurture artists and showcase the culture, values and aspirations of the community across a mix of performance venues and adaptable spaces. The redevelopment repositions and modernises the over 30 year old venue, while more than doubling its original capacity.

- a new 1,500 Broadway-style lyric theatre
- a newly refurbished 760 seat Riverside playhouse theatre
- a new 424 seat black-box drama theatre
- a new 88 seat digital studio and cinema
- two fully flexible production rehearsal spaces
- a refurbished back of house, technical and performer spaces
- state-of-the-art technical specifications for all venues
- a new Riverfront Café
- corporate function spaces, and
- enhanced public spaces.
