Victoria’s Minister for Tourism and Major Events John Eren has announced that Australia’s prestigious Helpmann Awards will be held in Melbourne from 2019 to 2021.
‘The Helpmann Awards belong in Australia’s cultural and theatre capital – Melbourne,’ he said. ‘From our famous East End theatre precinct to home-grown productions, we have so much to celebrate – and hosting these awards on our turf will inspire more Victorians to go centre stage.’
