Her Majesty's Theatre

  • Entertainment
  • Theatre

Her Majesty's Theatre opened in 1886, at the time, the largest theatre in the Southern Hemisphere. From the original, elegant facade of the 1886 building through to the Art Deco luxury of the renovated interior of the 1930s, the theatre has been the home to all of Melbourne’s great musicals, as well as presenting opera, ballet, plays and concerts for over 130 years.

The theatre is also known for its associations with performers such as Dame Nellie Melba, Anna Pavlova, Eduard Borovansky and Joan Sutherland.

In 1986, in the year of her 100th anniversary, Her Majesty’s was classified by the National Trust and listed on the Victorian Heritage Register.

The City of Melbourne respectfully acknowledges the Traditional Owners of the land we govern, the Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung and Bunurong Boon Wurrung peoples of the Eastern Kulin and pays respect to their Elders past, present and emerging.

We acknowledge and honour the unbroken spiritual, cultural and political connection the Wurundjeri, Bunurong, Dja Dja Wurrung, Taungurung and Wadawurrung peoples of the Eastern Kulin have to this unique place for more than 2000 generations.

We are committed to our reconciliation journey, because at its heart, reconciliation is about strengthening relationships between Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal peoples, for the benefit of all Victorians.
