The Capitol Orchestra and My Fair Lady

  • Film
  • Music

Melbourne’s Capitol Theatre, now celebrating 100 years of cultural excellence announces the next installment of The Capitol Theatre Orchestra. In a powerful tribute to classic cinema and live performance, The Capitol Theatre Orchestra will open the afternoon with a spirited performance of 1920s-style jazz, setting the stage for a screening of Academy Award-winning My Fair Lady (1964) featuring Audrey Hepburn.

Revived as part of The Capitol’s centenary celebrations, The Capitol Orchestra reclaims its historic role, echoing the vibrant sounds that once filled theatres across the nation. The original Capitol Theatre Orchestra debuted in 1924 during The Capitol’s grand opening and now, 100 years later, it’s back to recapture the magic of the roaring 1920s.

My Fair Lady, based in1910s London, tells the story of snobbish phonetics professor Henry Higgins, who agrees to a wager that he can make a crude flower girl, Eliza Doolittle, presentable in high society.
