'''Zorlu PSM''' (Turkish: Zorlu Performans Sanatları Merkezi, English: Zorlu Performing Arts Center) inside Zorlu Center in Istanbul, is currently the largest dedicated performing arts theatre and concert hall in Turkey. It is in the Beşiktaş district on the European side of the city, near the junction between Barbaros Boulevard and Boulderer Avenue, near Levent.

The multi-venue facility was designed by Turkish architect Emre Arolat, with the two main theaters designed by Anne Minors. The facility measures approximately 55,000 sq. meters (595,000 sq. ft.). It includes both gallery and exhibition space, public lobby spaces, a VIP Lounge, five levels of administrative and stage support spaces, and one of Europe's largest main stage areas. The complex opened in October 2013 under the leadership of Robert Nederlander, Jr. at Nederlander Worldwide Entertainment and Founding CEO Ray Cullom, with an extended run of the West End Musical Jersey Boys.[1] Zorlu PSM hosts various art and culture events, including shows, musicals, artists, and bands. Zorlu PSM plays an important role in turning the city into a center of attraction. It aims to become one of the most prestigious art centers in Europe and the world.

Since its launch in October 2013, Zorlu PSM has hosted over 2 million individuals in 5,000 events, focusing on the universality, diversity, and richness of arts, since its launch in October 2013 and 2018. Creating an environment that generates approximately 15% of the arts, culture, and entertainment industry in Turkey, Zorlu PSM also offers a lively socializing platform for its guests.[2]
