Reserves and Prices

Discover what makes Her Majesty’s Theatre so inspiring at our guided public theatre tours. Constructed in 1913, The Maj is the only Tivoli theatre façade still standing in Australia. 

Explore over 100 years of Adelaide’s finest entertainment history. Come experience for yourself Her Majesty's Theatre’s new state-of-the-art facilities, striking architectural details, and have the chance to glance behind the curtain.

When you visit The Maj, you’ll see all the new features from the redevelopments which were officially unveiled in June 2020 – featuring a 1,467-seat auditorium over three levels with the Grand Circle returning for the first time in more than 50 years.

  • 10% discount on merchandise for all tour participants
  • Prize draw for one lucky participant at the conclusion of the tour
  • Discount voucher at the Pitt Street Café

The redeveloped theatre is truly a grand sight to behold and really needs to be seen in person to be appreciated
