The Capital Theatre - Bendigo The Capital Theatre - Bendigo

The Capital - Bendigo's Performing Arts Centre

The former Masonic Hall is now The Capital - Bendigo's Performing Arts Centre, in the City of Greater Bendigo.

Bendigo's popular music, theatre and performance venue hosts over 200 performances of opera, drama, orchestras, popular music and many exhibitions each year.

The Capital is a grand, National Trust-listed, Victorian era building with ornately decorated interiors. It was built with gold rush wealth as a Masonic Hall, although these days it's theatre-lovers who enter through its towering Corinthian columns.

Take your seat in the magnificent first-floor Capital Theatre auditorium for a performance by a local and international act, including Australian popular musicians, touring orchestras, divas and quartets, comedy and cabaret, kids' entertainers, dance, theatre and spectacle.

If you are visiting for a smaller concert, more intimate performance or event, head downstairs to the elegant Banquet Room or Bendigo Bank theatre.

The Capital is proudly owned and operated by the City of Greater Bendigo.
