A 1500-seat lyric theatre featuring First Nations inspired interiors has been selected as part of the winning design for the $188 million-plus redevelopment of Parramatta’s Riverside Theatres.
The new design, led by COX Architecture with 3XN Architects, Aileen Sage, Turf Design Studio and Bangawarra, will more than double Riverside Theatres’ current capacity, and also features a refurbished 760-seat Riverside Playhouse theatre, an all-new 420-seat black box drama theatre and a state-of-the-art 80-seat digital studio and cinema.
