State Theatre
-
Originally a cinema with over-the-top Gothic, Baroque and Art Deco elements, this 1929 National Trust-classified “Palace of Dreams” was designed by Henry White, who also worked on the Capitol Theatre. Sweeping staircases embrace its lavish Grand Assembly foyer, and the massive 20,000-piece Koh-iNor chandelier dominates the 2,000-seat auditorium. Since 1974, this theatre has been the premier venue for the Sydney Film Festival. During the year it presents live acts and musical performances, which have included Bette Midler and kd lang, among others.
