The acoustic and ambience of this old old lady of the theatre should be a must for tourists. I bet ALL the locals have been here already. WE love her.

A intimate and wonderful small theatre which attracts big names. A real gem in Hobart. The 'backspace' is upstairs and can get very warm but you are part of the stage and it's a great performance space. The theatre proper is quite beautiful and host a diverse range of events

Wonderful small theatre for recitals and chamber opera beautiful restoration excellent acoustic frighteningly vertical "gods"

A visit to Hobart should definately include taking in a Theare tour or if you're lucky, one of the wonderful plays performed here. The atmosphere is magical, cosy and inviting. It's no wonder that great actors have loved playing here - Hobartians are very lucky to have the Royal.

nothing to dislike and the reviews (stage) have been wonderful. Especially the the plays presented by the one and only John X

A beautiful little theatre with loads of history and some believe a resident ghost. Ive seen many shows here over the years. The theatre holds a special place in the hearts of many Hobartians

This is a really wonderful old style theatre and the atmosphere..incredible!The history of the place..unmatched anywhere I have ever visited..not that many,mind you.

One of the most beautiful small theatres in Australia. Saved from demolition by the concerns expressed by Sir Laurence Olivier & Vivian Leigh, when they came to Hobart with the Royal Shakespeare Company in the early 1950's. The oldest theatre in Australia still operating. A rare jewel indeed.

Tasmania' oldest live theatre that has seen the worlds best actors and entertainers over the years. Names spring to mind like Sir Laurence Olivier and his wife at the time Vivien Leigh ( Scarlet Ohora in Gone with the Wind
