Main stage

The Main Stage is the beating heart of the Theatre Royal.

Originally built in 1837, the Theatre Royal’s Main Stage is the oldest working theatre in Australia.

The Theatre Royal Main Stage is a resilient theatre that is not only an iconic piece of Tasmania’s history but a living home for the performing arts.  It presents an annual program of live theatre, contemporary music, dance and entertainment. An intimate 700 seat theatre that has had Laurance Olivier, Noël Coward, Vivien Leigh and Marcel Marceau tread the boards and welcomes today’s artists to do the same.
