Melbourne's relatively
cool climate and European
heritage have shaped it as Australia’s city of civilised indoor
pursuits. There are many top class performances throughout the year
at the Victorian Arts Centre which is home to Opera
Australia, the Melbourne Theatre Company, the Melbourne Symphony
Orchestra and the Australian Ballet.
