Perth Venues Celebrate Anniversaries with Special Shows
Two prominent Perth venues are gearing up to celebrate important milestones in 2025. Perth Theatre is marking its 125th birthday, while Perth Concert Hall will be turning 20. Both venues experienced a 12% increase in audiences in December compared to their previous best-selling year in 2023. The success is attributed to popular shows like Mother Goose at Perth Theatre and capacity performances at Perth Concert Hall. To continue the festivities, a series of shows and events are planned throughout the year, leading up to an anniversary street party called 125 Live! in September.
As part of the celebrations, past and present figures associated with the venues will be sharing their memories through individual video snapshots called 125 Stories. These videos will be showcased on the venues’ social media pages and during the anniversary street party. A brochure outlining the entertainment offerings from January to June 2025 has also been released. Christopher Glasgow, the director of Perth Theatre and Concert Hall, expressed his excitement for the upcoming anniversary year and thanked the supporters, artists, and funders for their contributions to the cultural life of the city.
