The Theatre Royal is Australia’s oldest working theatre. It occupies an important place in the hearts of Tasmanians, local and international performers and many visitors to Hobart. The annual program includes works ranging from contemporary text, traditional drama, dance, physical theatre and circus, multi-media, opera, contemporary music, music theatre, comedy and more.
Productions on the Theatre Royal main stage and Theatre Royal Backspace are a mix of local productions and international or touring shows. The Theatre Royal Management Board operates the Theatre in trust for the state and nation – which is a privilege they take very seriously. In carefully managing this asset and mindful of its unique role in the community, they aim to build on the past to deliver a vibrant contemporary centre for the performing arts.
If you cannot make it to see a show you can take a guided tour of the Theatre and experience this beautiful Tasmanian treasure. You will be able to get behind the scenes and hear entertaining stories about the theatre’s history and some of the performers who have trodden its boards. Guided tours take place every Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 11:00am as the Theatre Royal is a working theatre, please note that due to rehearsals and performances, tours operate subject to change without notice, please contact the box office for more information.
