Theatre Royal, Hobart, Georgian theatre in Hobart, Australia
The Theatre Royal features red velvet seating, a crystal chandelier, and maintains its provincial Georgian architectural style from its original 1837 construction.
Architect John Lee Archer designed this performing arts venue in 1834 after Peter Degraves and local citizens purchased land for a public theatre.
The Theatre Royal presents a range of performances including contemporary circus, musical concerts, and theatrical productions throughout the year.
The theatre accommodates 698 visitors and offers virtual tours along with gift vouchers for those interested in experiencing its performances.
