His Majesty's Theatre
Built during the Gold Rush in the early 20th century, His Majesty's Theatre opened Christmas Eve in 1904. Its striking Edwardian era architecture boasts a groundbreaking sliding dome roof, designed to improve ventilation and keep audience members cool. His Majesty's Theatre offers guests a chance to see regular performances that in the past have included well-known actors Dame Nellie Melba, Vivien Leigh, Sir Robert Helpman and Katharine Hepburn. The theatre is also home to the West Australian Opera and the West Australian Ballet. When not catching a show, visitors can peruse the Museum of Performing Arts within His Majesty's, where glamorous costumes, press clippings, scripts and a beautiful silk program from an 1854 performance are on display.
Providing a memorable venue for functions, the main stage in the principal auditorium at His Majesty's Theatre can seat up to 1,200 people or transform into a gala ballroom with glittering chandeliers. The box office is open Monday through Saturday from 9 AM to 5:30 PM. Ticket prices vary based on performance. For more information: +61 8 9265 0900
