Pulse: Season 2026 is now live!
Season 2026: Pulse Act 1
This year, GPAC invites you to feel the pulse — the rhythm of stories, music, and movement that bring our stage to life. In every light, every note, every heartbeat, the pulse of live performance connects us all. Season 2026 is filled with performances that stir, uplift, and ignite, creating shared moments that stay with you long after the curtain falls. See it. Feel it.
This year, we’re doing things a little differently. We’ll be presenting our season in two parts: Act 1 runs from January to the end of June, and tickets for Act 2, which takes us from July to the end of the season, go on sale in May. It’s a whole year of unforgettable performances, experiences you’ll want to see and feel for yourself.
The Heartbeat: Our Main Season
This is where the pulse of the season beats loudest—the stage alive with movement, music, and story. From world-class productions to powerful Australian works, each performance fuels the heartbeat of our cultural life. These shows move, stir, and ignite, reminding us why we gather: to feel, to connect, and to be truly moved.
