Her Majesty's Theatre, Heritage theatre in Melbourne Central Business District, Australia.

The ornate theatre building spans multiple levels with a grand entrance, sculptured facades, and a main auditorium featuring 1700 red velvet seats.

Opening in 1886 as the Alexandra Theatre, the venue became Her Majesty's Theatre in 1900 to honor Queen Victoria during renovations by James Williamson.

The theatre presents musicals, operas, ballets, and plays, maintaining its position as a central element of Melbourne's performing arts landscape since the 19th century.

The Exhibition Street location provides direct access to trams, parking facilities, and numerous restaurants within the central business district of Melbourne.

The structure incorporates original 1886 architectural elements with 1930s Art Deco modifications, creating an enduring testament to theatrical design evolution.
