His Majesty’s Theatre
Short-sighted policies may have seen the demolition of many of Australia’s old theatres but the Maj (as it’s affectionately known) still stands in all its Edwardian glory. Thought to be the only existing theatre of its era in Australia, His Majesty’s Theatre features a magnificent staircase, a domed, three-tiered auditorium and opulent foyers. A venue for plays, opera, musicals, concerts and dance, the theatre is home to the West Australian Ballet, the West Australian Opera and the Museum of Performing Arts (MOPA), which has a collection of performing arts memorabilia.
