When the new Glasshouse Theatre opens its doors at Queensland Performing Arts Centre in March, almost two years will have elapsed from its originally scheduled opening. The Covid pandemic and floods across Brisbane’s Southbank triggered substantial delays.

ArtsHub was recently given an advance tour of the new venue. The wait has been worthwhile, as the Glasshouse promises to enhance Brisbane’s performing arts scene and assist with positioning Queensland as an important cultural destination in the lead up to the 2032 Olympics.
