Nestled in the historic Haymarket district, the Capitol Theatre has a rich and varied past. Originally built in 1892 as the Belmore Markets, the building later served as a venue for a circus and a cinema before facing demolition in the 1980s. Saved by a Heritage Council conservation order, it was transformed into a world-class theatre. Today, visitors can experience its grandeur, with a blend of original architectural elements and modern amenities, making it a key cultural landmark in Sydney.
