His Majesty's Theatre

An Edwardian Baroque theatre on the corner of Hay Street and King Street in Perth's central business district, built between 1902 and 1904 during the growth that followed the Western Australian gold rush. It was designed by William G. Wolf for Thomas Molloy, who named it after the newly crowned Edward VII; at its opening it was the largest theatre in Australia, seating over 2,500, and it is thought to be the first reinforced concrete building put up in Perth. It is the home of West Australian Ballet and West Australian Opera, sits on the State Register of Heritage Places, and is believed to be the only remaining working Edwardian theatre in Australia.
