Her Majesty’s Theatre, constructed in 1913, is Adelaide?s oldest continually operating performance venue. Described upon opening as ?the most luxuriously appointed theatre in Australia,? ?Her Maj? is the last surviving example of the Tivoli chain of theatres in Australia.

In the 60s and 70s, redevelopments removed some original architectural features and lowered the seating capacity to 900.

The theatre now features a 1467-seat auditorium and brought back the notorious grand circle after its removal over 50 years ago. The heritage façade and eastern wall were preserved, adding a new west wing with a striking glass facade. Bold balconies, pressed metal ceiling and architraves have been reinstated, paying homage to the original 1960s Edwardian plans. ?This redevelopment will attract world-class productions and provide a massive boost for our arts sector. Her Majesty?s has served the city well for more than a century, and it will continue to be a cornerstone of our creative industries for many years to come.?
