We fire imaginations by making live and digital experiences with artists, young people and communities. This includes our own productions, an international festival and a vibrant programme of work across our public spaces.

Alongside this we create opportunities to see the best international work in Wales from critically acclaimed musical theatre, comedy and dance to intimate, groundbreaking cabaret. 

Our productions

We create work that has the power to expand worlds, spark emotions and fire imaginations. Our productions amplify Welsh voices and showcase Welsh talent, entertaining and challenging audiences and celebrating Welsh culture in all its diversity. 

Our productions

Immersive experiences and digital innovation

We believe that exploring new forms of storytelling will enable more people to connect with stories in new and different ways. We curate and create a programme of digital work that pushes the boundaries of reality and possibility and support artists to explore their practice through alternative platforms and technologies.

Llais

Our annual international arts festival is inspired by the instrument that connects us all – the voice. With a mixture of free and ticketed events, Llais presents a programme of adventurous live music, thought-provoking performances and playful experiences for everyone to explore.

Cabaret

Cabaret is a bespoke space for showcasing new art forms, building communities, encouraging experimentation and nurturing local and emerging artists. A celebration of self-expression, our programme of comedy, cabaret, drag, music and spoken word brings together the very best in contemporary theatre and performance.  

Cabaret is a safe and inclusive place to connect with friends, be entertained and discover something different.

Cultural Celebrations

We offer communities the opportunity to plan and curate their own events in our public spaces and perform at signature events like Llais. We make space to celebrate and share stories, histories and cultures; from St David’s Day and Butetown Carnival to our community Iftar event, we believe Wales Millennium Centre should be a creative home for everyone. These are just a few of the 160+ community-led performances, experiences and cultural celebrations which have welcomed 11,000+ people to the building.
