Palais Theatre
The Palais Theatre (originally Palais Pictures) is an historic picture palace located in St Kilda, and inner suburb of Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. With a capacity of nearly 3,000 people, it is the largest seated theatre in Australia. Replacing an earlier cinema of the same name destroyed in a fire, the new theatre, designed by Henry Eli White, opened in 1927. Sitting adjacent to Luna Park, it helped to establish the St Kilda beach foreshore as an entertainment precinct, and remains an iconic landmark in the area. Over time, it became known primarily as a music venue, and has also hosted ballet performances, operas and stand-up comedy shows. The Palais is included on the Victorian Heritage Register, and in 2015, it was inducted into the Music Victoria Hall of Fame.
