Fifty thousand admirers turned up to the reopening of Arts Centre Melbourne's Hamer Hall, such is the esteemed place it holds in Melburnians' hearts.
The two-year redevelopment saw $135.8 million be poured into the curvaceous structure that sits on the Yarra, diagonally across from Federation Square. The refurbishment include a revitalised auditorium with improved acoustics, air con, lighting, technology and seating. The building is now a true gem in Melbourne's theatrical crown.
