A showcase for performance and the home of performing arts programs, the Theatre Complex is integral to the Centre’s professional training for artists and theatre technicians.

“If The Banff Centre didn’t exist, we would have to create it. It’s so important to the country. There’s nothing else like it.”
– Peter Herrndorf,
   National Arts Centre CEO

Performance is a fundamental part of The Banff Centre experience. The Centre’s theatre facilities provide dancers, musicians, opera singers, actors, and filmmakers with an opportunity to fully realize their artistic vision before a live audience.
