Performances
Until today, although not often, the Istana Budaya has staged notable productions of such operas as The Merry Widow, Tosca, La Bohème, Turandot, Carmen and many more accompanied by the National Symphony Orchestra and Choir.
Among the more successful local productions staged here was Puteri Gunung Ledang - The Musical, which opened to full house on almost all nights.
Dato' Siti Nurhaliza, widely considered the princess of Malaysian pop, is also noted to have held a full-house concert here.

Famous quotes containing the word performances:
“This play holds the season’s record [for early closing], thus far, with a run of four evening performances and one matinee. By an odd coincidence it ran just five performances too many.”
—Dorothy Parker (1893–1967)
“At one of the later performances you asked why they called it a “miracle,”
Since nothing ever happened. That, of course, was the miracle
But you wanted to know why so much action took on so much life
And still managed to remain itself, aloof, smiling and courteous.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
