Capitol Theatre

Capitol Theatre is a theatre building in Haymarket, Sydney, featuring ornate interior spaces with elaborate decorative elements throughout. The main hall contains plush seating arranged in multiple levels, a grand stage, and detailed architectural finishes that reflect earlier design traditions.

The building started as a market facility in 1893 before undergoing significant changes in the early 20th century. It eventually became a theatre in the late 1920s, taking on its current primary purpose.

The theatre draws audiences for musicals, stage productions, and dance performances in a setting of grand interiors and ornate design. Visitors experience performances within an environment designed to make each visit feel special and immersive.

The theatre sits within easy walking distance of Central Station and is accessible by public transport. Visitors should plan ahead for specific shows, as popular performances often fill to capacity quickly.

The theatre underwent a complete restoration in the 1990s that carefully recovered the original interior finishes from the 1920s. This thorough renewal prevented deterioration and brought back the detailed original seating and ornamental work to their former condition.
