The Adelaide Festival Centre

The Adelaide Festival Centre is Adelaide's first multi-purpose art center. The Festival Centre is located approximately 50 metres north of the corner of North Terrace and King William St, lying near the banks of the River Torrens and adjacent to Elder Park. It is distinguished by its white geometric dome roofs.

The Adelaide Festival Centre was built in three parts and was completed in 1980 and was the first multi-purpose performing arts centre in Australia. Since its inception in 1973, it has been the home to the South Australian performing arts and remains so.

There are multiple threatres within the centre, holding a total of 5000 people. The Festival Threatre holds up to 2000 people and is considered as one of the best lyric threatres within the Southern Hemisphere. Other theatres include the dual level Dunstan Playhouse that can seat 620 people and the Space Threatre that can hold up to 400 people. There is also any outdoor amphitheatre that can hold 600 people.

In 2003, the area around the Adelaide Festival Centre was subject to a redevelopment. Redevelopment has included the inclusion of cafes, restaurants and a retail area. The centre also provides dining facilities for various occasions and has art collections.
