Riverside Theatres

Riverside Parramatta is a complex comprised of various theatre spaces and is located just outside the heart of Parramatta CBD. Riverside remains a vibrant hub within Western Sydney and has been home to Sydney Festival events for many years.

Riverside Theatre is the largest space within the venue, and boasts a traditional proscenium arch, 761 seat theatre venue with stalls, circle and gallery levels. The architectural design is based on the common European Opera House concept to provide a very warm, intimate and live performance space.

The Lennox is a flexible, multi-use performance space which allows a large number of seating configurations in both theatre or cabaret style.

Raffertys Theatre is the smallest within the venue with 84 seats.
