APRA can license certain works in Dramatic Context

Some copyright owners have elected for APRA to manage Dramatic Context licensing on their behalf, while others choose to license all requests directly.

Additionally, copyright owners may choose to directly license productions in venues that exceed a certain size or for specific types of performances.

Refer to our Dramatic Context information guide (PDF 774kb) for more information.

What if I want to use recorded music in my show?

If you are playing music from a commercially released sound recording (as opposed to the music being performed live or in a recording you have made), in addition to you APRA AMCOS licence, you will require direct permission (or a licence) from the relevant record label or rights holder for each sound recording.

In some instances, Phonographic Performance Company of Australia (PPCA) may be able to assist, depending on the circumstances.
