Overview
We’ve been absolutely blown away by how excited people are to step inside the extraordinary Glasshouse Theatre. It’s the fifth theatre for QPAC and has the capacity to welcome an additional 300,000 visitors a year to our centre.
From 14 March until the end of the month, we’ll be opening the building every weekend and Mondays for people to come and explore what is already a cultural icon for our city. No tickets are necessary. Our friendly staff will be on hand to direct you throughout the foyer and will be able to confirm, on the day, any access that may be granted to the auditorium itself.
