If you are in the mood to take in a show, a spellbinding ballet or moving opera then the Artscape Theatre Centre is worth a visit. It’s one of Cape Town’s modern landmarks, home to the Artscape performing arts company, as well as one of the main performing arts centres.
Opened in 1971 and formerly known as the Nico Malan Theatre Centre, it was renamed in March 2001 as Artscape to replace the Cape Performing Arts Board
Today the theatre is an all-round arts venue and offers ballet, drama, comedy, opera and orchestral performances. It has a 1 187-seater opera house and a 540-seater theatre. There is also a 120-seater arena and a 100-seater cabaret venue. The Artscape is a feast for ballet and opera lovers, with the Cape Philharmonic Orchestra and the Cape Town City Ballet calling this venue home.
Conference, exhibition, restaurant and bar facilities are also available, while the various sites on this 14 000 square metre property are often used for film shoots, outdoor concerts or venue hire.
Artscape is also the home of Fine Music Radio, a community radio station for classical music and jazz enthusiasts.
