Arts Centre Melbourne invites patrons to experience a comprehensive program of productions, events, and exhibitions to commemorate the Anzac Centenary in 2015. Our Anzac Centenary program spans visual arts, theatre, dance, and opera and will explore the many ways that the Anzac story has impacted on not only our nation’s history, but also our culture.
Leading up to Anzac Day of this special Centenary year Arts Centre Melbourne launches Theatres of War: Wartime Entertainment and the Australian Experience, the major new exhibition curated by Arts Centre Melbourne. The exhibition will run from 18 April to 20 September and looks at the transformative power of performance in war time – from shows for the troops to the makeshift instruments smuggled into prisoner of war camps.
