Music Theatre

The Music Theatre specialisation in the Bachelor of Fine Arts is designed as an intensive, skills-building program that produces performers with a strong sense of individual expression.

You will receive extensive practical training in music theatre’s principal disciplines of singing, acting and dance as individual crafts, and in combination for holistic music theatre performance. You can apply these skills in public showings from second year, with fully staged performances towards the end of the degree culminating in an industry showcase for agents, directors and producers.

Melbourne is the home of music theatre in Australia and the VCA has a strong connection to the city’s thriving professional scene through studio-based training with working artists, masterclasses with international guest teachers, and new works that are developed and performed under the guidance of guest artists.

Selection into this specialisation is talent-based and includes an audition and interview.
