Victoria Theatre & Victoria Concert Hall (VTVCH), an Arts House Limited venue, appreciates your support and places utmost importance in the wellbeing and safety of our patrons, artists, and staff. 

Prior to the circuit breaker period from 7 April, VTVCH implemented precautionary measures such as increasing the frequency of cleaning and disinfection of all venues, mandatory staff temperature logging, screening and visitor registration. During the circuit breaker period, all venues were closed from 7 April to 18 June 2020; in line with MOH and MTI advisories issued on 3 April.

We would like to share the following advisories in chronological order:

• From 19 June 2020:
  Performances and events with audiences (“live performances”) will not resume during Phase Two, as the risk of transmission increases where large groups of people gather in an enclosed space. All VTVCH performance venues (theatre, concert hall and studios) will remain closed to such activities.
  There will a progressive resumption of other activities for Arts and Culture companies and practitioners.
  For example, venues such as studios for art-making, can be used as workplaces.
  These are subjected to Ministry of Manpower's Requirements for Safe Management Measures (SMM) at the Workplace.
  Hence, access to these premises should be restricted to employees and authorised visitors only.
