A stage that has seen Mikhail Baryshnikov, Sarah Bernhard, Luciano Pavarotti, and many other great artists of our time, the Royal Theatre is one of Victoria’s most treasured performance venues and tourist attractions. The intimate 1416-seat theatre decorated in the Rococo/Renaissance Revival style opened its doors in 1913 and was used as a cinema between 1917 and 1981.

The theater is home to the Pacific Opera Victoria and the Victoria Symphony. Managed by the Royal & McPherson Theatres Society, the Royal Theatre is Vancouver Island's main venue for visiting attractions, such as concerts by Beach Boys and Celtic Thunder, and can be rented for social events.
