About this audio guide
This guide to the Queensland Performing Arts Centre in Brisbane follows the vision behind it, architect Robin Gibson, asked in the nineteen seventies to build more than a theatre for a city that feared losing its last one. It traces his admiration for the grand staircase at the Paris Opera and how that memory shaped an unusual design brief. You will hear how a stretch of swampy riverside became a three-theatre complex opened in nineteen eighty five.
