State Theatre

Sydney's State Theatre is a monument to another age; with elements of Gothic, Italianate and Art Deco design, this theatre itself offers a spectacle to rival the on-stage action. Hosting every kind of show from theatre to comedy to film (the Sydney Film Festival takes the venue over in June) and music, there's something to suit every taste. For glorious nostalgia, pick something along traditional lines, so the venue and performance work together.
