Excellent theatre, seats were very comfy, good view from G58-59 balcony door 16, staffe very very helpful and knowledgeable, exit was very orderly and easy, Chicago performance was outstanding, definitely worth a visit. 5*

We were so excited to see Moulin Rouge and although the show and performance was incredible, unfortunately our experience was ruined by the Job Worthy usher that told us we were not allowed to sing. We are ladies in our 50s that have been going to the theatre for years. We certainly understand the dos and donts and to be respectful of others etc. We were simply enjoying the wonderful atmosphere and singing along & clapping to some of the music as others do. We have never heard anything so ridiculous as not being able to sing along at a musical performance? Our Usher really ruined the experience, making us feel embarrassed and scared to move.

I went with a few people to see Moulin Rouge and it was the best show I have ever been to. The performers were so talented and I highly recommend going while it is on.

Doesn't appear to have lifts to the upper terraces and there are a hellnof a lot of stairs to navigate.

All the performances I have attended here have been World Class. The venues are also easily accessible, to navigate and give exceptional viewing and listening experiences.

A night AT QPAC is always exciting and amazing. Take the bus, train or car. Located central to the city.
Great theatre

I arrived late to pick up my tickets for the Opera, and then lost them real quick. The staff were very friendly and re issued them quickly. All the usher and ticket staff very friendly. A great night.

We went to " A Christmas Carol" at the Playhouse, second back row, the show was great but the venue was FREEZING! I was very uncomfortable. If the show wasn't as good I would have left due to how cold I was.

Went and saw the Nutcracker last month. First time I’ve sat up so high (top balcony, row K). Would probably not sit here again but I enjoyed the show nonetheless.

Ive just taken my Granddaughter to see "Guess how much i love you". Unfortunately she has a leg in a complete cast and was in a pram. Noone would allow us to take the pram inside to eliminate my having to carry her. Shes nearly 5.
Then we met Robert. He sorted it all out for us. The pram was beside our seat and no way "in the way".
Thankyou Robert for taking care of us. There should be more people like you in the world.

It has lost the open airy feeling it used to have and empty spaces have now been filled; however, the concert hall remains the same and the acoustics are fabulous.

Seen a couple of performances at QPAC in my time. This was, I admit one of my favourites. It was amazing how it all came together on stage. I've movie versions of A Christmas Carol before and wondered how they would do the flying scenes. Pure genius. Great show.

Saw "half" of the nutcracker ballet at the lyric theather on 18/12/2021. "half" because half of stage view was blocked by the head of an average height guy in front of me (would be 1.75 and shorter than myself). Been in theaters in 3 continents, this was the most dispointing theater experience of my life. Not going back to this venue.

I love this building and I love to go to concerts here. The QSO last week was amazing. I wish I could attend more of their shows.

This was a special Qld Opera / QSO offering as lockdowns had prevented Aida being staged. An excellent, competent, enjoyable event at short notice. Good conductor, tight orchestra. But the choir and the choir Director were first class, great dynamics, perfect finishes.a really good performance.we went away humming " the fun bits ". Cob

Wonderful evening at Playhouse, the venue is absolutely brilliant, elegant, modern, plush. Mini bar with alcoholic and non alcoholic options, lots of helpful, professional staff to assist you around, lots of toilets so pretty quick in the interval. Carpark is absolutely awesome, flat rate $17 on entry and boom gates open at the end, so no nasty surprises with someone stuck trying to pay, in front of you at the gate, when getting home. Really international standards, very proud of my home state Arts Complex

We went to Brisbane from Coomera on the train to see Cosentino magic show. It was a great night out, easy transport, theatre directly opposite the train station. We had dinner at a local eatery a couple of streets away as we arrived early enough to enjoy it.
The Performance Arts Centre has several different shows on at any given day and time. It has outdoor food and bar services and even free entertainment.

This is a world-class performing center. Concert hall, lyric theatre or any corner of this venue is pretty well designed, the acoustics obviously are just perfect. I’d like to congratulate the whole Qpac direction and staff members for such a beautiful and well maintained iconic Art Center. Every year we can enjoy a number of concert and other performances.
The only downside or funny fact is when the crowd is clapping out of tempo during the classical concerts or ballet, still I appreciate their effort to dabble in classical

I accompanied a group of students to watch a production of "Grease" at QPAC this week. The staff were fantastic, all so willing to help. The show was most enjoyable, a delight to watch.
