Melbourne Town Hall

About

The Melbourne Town Hall Grand Organ is the largest Grand Romantic Organ in the Southern Hemisphere

Story

Originally built in 1872, the Melbourne Town Hall Grand Organ uses ninety thousand cubic feet of air every minute and can produce anything from a delicate whistle to deafening thunder.

It was lovingly refurbished and relaunched in 2001 and now contains drums, bells and almost ten thousand pipes across three Town Hall levels.

The City of Melbourne's Grand Organ music program presents:

- virtuosic solo performances of classical organ music spanning over hundreds of years

- orchestra and band concerts performing with the organ

- original contemporary works written specifically for the Town Hall instrument

- opportunities to see the instrument from the inside

Best of all, most of the events are offered free of charge

Great tour of the beautiful Melbourne Town Hall the building is amazing! The organ and the theatre are absolutely stunning! I learnt so much more about Melbourne as well.... Tours are free just need to book online
Worthwhile booking this tour well ahead.nOne hour was a little short for the tour with so much to see & information.nAs an early Aust history enthusiastic, I felt somewhat disappointed & rushed from one area to the next.
Reflecting on an Unforgettable Evening at the Melbourne Comedy Festival – Asian Gala NightnnIt’s been a few months since I attended the Melbourne Comedy Festival’s Asian Gala Night at the iconic Melbourne Town Hall, yet the experience remains as vivid as ever. A few friends and I had the pleasure of enjoying the show from the balcony, undoubtedly one of the best spots in the venue. From that height, we could take in every detail: the striking lighting design, the dynamic stage setup, and the collective energy of a crowd completely immersed in laughter.nnThe Asian Gala featured an exceptional lineup of comedians, each bringing a distinctive voice and cultural lens to the stage. Their performances were not only hilarious but deeply insightful, blending clever humor with reflections that resonated on a human level. The entire evening was flawlessly managed, from the welcoming staff to the smooth coordination of each act, which added to the overall sense of professionalism and care behind the event.nnLooking back, what I appreciated most was how the night went beyond entertainment. It was a powerful reminder of how comedy can bridge perspectives, celebrate diversity, and bring people together through shared laughter.nnEven months later, the memory of that evening reminds me that truly great experiences don’t fade with time; they continue to inspire connection, creativity, and joy.
Lovely old building. Melbourne has a nice vibe in the late evenings. It's fun to walk around the old town and marvel at the historical buildings. I booked a hotel in this area so it was easy to walk to all the monuments and landmarks. No need for taxis or cars and trains if you stay here.
Grand building capturing the character and spirit of Melbourne.nPop by the Information Centre to see what's on, or visit an exhibition or show. Plenty to do and see here!
