Christmas Square 24th Nov - 25th December
See for yourself the Magnifique 17.5-meter tree that ignites the spirit of Christmas in Federation Square this year. Be amazed by the tree itself and the glittering lights and sounds accompanying the festive decorations. You can look forward to walking by shops, indulging in festive foods, or taking everything in from a rooftop bar above.
With the support of Federation Square, the City of Melbourne is proud to be lighting up the event with 100% wind power. You can enjoy the event from 10 am to 12:30 am, so no matter your schedule or lifestyle, you can still enjoy a sprinkle of Christmas cheer.
Miss Saigon until 16th December
Behold Miss Saigon's award-winning musical on stage at Her Majesty’s Theatre this December. In one of Australia's most beautiful theatrical events, follow a love story full of passion and tragedy.
Don’t miss this theatrical masterpiece birthed from the minds of those who created Les Misérables. Not only is the story one to remember, but the musical score is a total of songs like The Heat is On in Saigon, The American Dream, and more that will wow you along with the 38 million others who have seen it before.
The Music of Hans Zimmer 14th December - 16th December
The Melbourne Symphony Orchestra and conductor Nicholas Buc pay a beautiful tribute to Hans Zimmer, one of our time’s most significant film composers.
He has received accolades for his composition of tracks for Interstellar, the Lion King, Kung Fu Panda, and Pirates of the Caribbean. Feel his compositions come to life as the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra takes you on a musical journey. If you love orchestral, we highly recommend you don’t miss this.
Experience this unique and transcending event, hosted by Andrew Pogson and Dan Goulding, while you still can.
