Her Majesty's Theatre

There have been three Her Majesty's Theatres in Sydney, spanning nearly a century of the city's theatrical history.

Sydney's lost theatres

Theatres operated on more than two dozen sites in Sydney in the period 1796 to the 1930s. Only two of these sites still function as commercial theatres today, indicating a significant loss of the city's cultural memory.

full record ยป

Largest and best-equipped theatre in Sydney when it opened in 1887, Her Majesty's was rebuilt after a fire destroyed the theatre in 1902. Closed as a theatre in the 1930s, the building survived until the redevelopment of the site for Centrepoint in the 1970s.
