Member Profile

Inspiration starts here at Walsh Bay Arts Precinct — Sydney’s iconic harbourside home for the performing arts.

Situated on the lands of the Gadigal People of the Eora Nation, between The Rocks and Barangaroo and in the shadow of the Sydney Harbour Bridge, Walsh Bay Arts Precinct is where heritage meets contemporary culture.

This beautifully restored waterfront district brings together exceptional performance, creativity, and cuisine in a setting unlike any other.
Walsh Bay Arts Precinct is home to nine of the nation’s most celebrated performing arts organisations. It serves as a vibrant hub for collaboration, innovation, and artistic excellence — welcoming audiences, artists, presenters, and cultural leaders from around the world.

It’s a place of inspiration and transformation, where the world of theatre, music and dance comes to life — through bold ideas, extraordinary talent, and shared cultural experiences.

Resident companies include the Australian Chamber Orchestra, Australian Theatre for Young People, Bangarra Dance Theatre, Bell Shakespeare, Gondwana Choirs, Sydney Dance Company, Sydney Philharmonia Choirs, Sydney Theatre Company, and The Song Company.

At Walsh Bay, the spirit of creativity is alive — shaping stories, inspiring ideas, and connecting communities.
