After a long hiatus, the Penang Arts Council or PAC is back in action! Established in 1954, PAC is one of Penang’s earliest associations dedicated to promoting and advancing the arts in Penang. Ever since then, PAC has come a long way, from staging the production of traditional music and dance to pop genres. We were also privileged to receive support from the public and companies such as Texchem G

roup of Companies and YTL in producing opera, a rarity in the region. Some of the operas that we’ve staged included A Grand Night of Opera (1989), Carmen (1997 and 2004), Die Fledermaus (1994), The Merry Widow (1996), The Land of Smiles (1999), Madame Butterfly (2002) and Turandot (2003). We are rejuvenating PAC with an objective to be inclusive of all performing, visual and other art forms in Penang, and to reach out to more people. We look forward to working with individuals and organizations to raise the standards of arts in Penang.
