Ian McDougall and opening of Concert Hall
The Melbourne Recital Centre and theatre for Melbourne Theatre Company are 2 new performance facilities in the Southbank Arts Precinct of Melbourne.
The MRC houses a 1000 seat auditorium, Elisabeth Murdoch Hall, and a 150 seat Salon. Both spaces are designed primarily for the performance of acoustic music, but are also suitable for functions and as recording studios. Associated with these facilities are VIP spaces, café and allied foyer spaces. The striking design of the building, inside and out reflects the adventure of music appreciation. The Hall itself recalls the interior of a beautiful case or the back of a stringed instrument. The spaces are simultaneously contemporary and traditional.
The MTC comprises a 530 seat proscenium type theatre and a 150 seat black box (which is also rehearsal space).The theatre is a state of the art facility incorporating full computer control to flying, lighting and technical backbone. The design of the theatre incorporates backlit walls of quotations from plays, creating a spectacular light show before the play. Outside the building glows in the night; a scribble of white steel tube lit up hovers around the black exterior walls.'
