UK-based Ambassador Theatre Group wants a 1,650-seat lyric theatre to be included in the community facilities at the Central Barangaroo development in Sydney. It has proposed to build the theatre in partnership with Providence Equity Partners.

Western Australian Health Minister Kim Hames says Healthway’s sponsorship deal will not be affected by any decision by WA Opera to stage "Carmen". The popular opera features scenes that depict smoking, and WA Opera removed it from the 2015 program to avoid jeopardising the $A400,000 sponsorship deal. Healthway is a government-funded health promotion agency

Victorian Planning Minister Matthew Guy is accused of dragging his feet on new legislation to safeguard the interests of live music venues as well as real estate developers when the two clash over new residential projects and noise. The live performances sector is calling for the urgent roll-out of promised "agent of change" laws, as the Pure Pop Records space in the Melbourne inner suburb of St Kilda closes. Music Victoria CEO Patrick Donovan notes that some local government councils have issued their own rules to protect live music venues, but that city planning and noise emissions laws are a state responsibility

Opera Australia terminated a contract with Georgian opera singer Tamar Iveri over an offensive anti-gay Facebook post. The incident highlights the issue of whether staff should be taken to task over their private affairs. Iveri’s homophobia would have damaged Opera Australia’s brand as well as many audience member’s ability to be drawn in by her performance. Social media breaches by employees are less clear-cut if the employer has a less prominent "brand", the employee lacks a public profile or the comments are less offensive
