25.01.2022 FLASHBACK FRIDAY The seductive vocals of Mama Alto "Exquisite" in 2017. Bringing old world Hollywood luxury to The National Theatre Melbourne!... #jazz #melbournemusic #glamour #stkilda #melbournearts #supportthearts #theatre #cabaret #mamaalto

25.01.2022 Here we have a rare photo of the proscenium arch from 1921 before it was demolished in 1972 This classic architectural feature created a 'picture frame' for the audience to view the stage. Thus popularizing the term 'fourth wall' through which the actors performed. And of course the box seats ensured important guests could be easily seen when attending the theatre. ... #theatre #melbournetheatre #architecture #historical #stkilda #iconic #heritage

12.01.2022 We Need Your Support The National Theatre has been an iconic part of Melbourne's creative landscape for over 80 years. We are a not-for-profit organisation that does not receive any government funding. We rely on generous donations to continue our work for the community. ... All donations over $2 are tax deductible! CLICK BELOW to contribute: https://form.jotform.co/91388025569871 The National Theatre proudly supports Melbourne's communities by providing an affordable venue for a vast range of cultural and artistic events. From live music to classical ballet, school showcases to international comedians. The National Theatre has always been a hub of diverse and accessible performances. We are also home to National Theatre Drama School and National Theatre Ballet School, training professional artists for the industry for almost a century. 2020 has proven an extremely challenging year for the Arts Industry. The majority of events scheduled for this year have been forced to cancel, and our building has gone dark until restrictions are lifted. But we have been working tirelessly to keep our staff, teachers and students working, and to give our clients options in the future. Please consider supporting us in any way you can. You can choose to donate to the schools and support education and training or to maintaining the heritage building and supporting the facilities needed to maintain this historic icon. Every little bit makes a huge difference! We thank you The National Theatre Melbourne

12.01.2022 Such amazing shots found by Robert Taylor of the Upper foyer and the back of the stalls. Not much has changed!

12.01.2022 DID YOU KNOW? We have a fabulous article about Miss Gertrude Johnson by Frank Van Straten AM https://nationaltheatre.org.au/history/... Frank is a performing arts historian. His book National Treasure The Story of Gertrude Johnson and the National Theatre was published by Victoria Press in 1994. This article is adapted from an article on Gertrude Johnson written by Frank for Live Performance Australia’s online Hall of Fame, and we are grateful to LPA for permitting us to use it.

11.01.2022 A great shot of The National Theatre when it was a cinema! in 1921 The Victory (as it was originally called) was opened as a 3000 seat cinema by F W Thring of Efftee Pictures, and in 1924 Frank Thring Senior joined Hoyts. in 1929 sound arrived at the Victory and audiences could enjoy the luxury of talking pictures! #cinema #architecture #historicstkilda #lovemelbourne #stkilda #historical #iconic #theatre

11.01.2022 We can’t wait to bring our audiences back to the theatre. Help to bring events back to venues and jobs back to the industry! #liveentertainmentindustryforum #liveevents #supporttheatre #arts #melbournearts #covidsafe #theatre #culture #creativity #stkilda

09.01.2022 June 23rd 1971 issue of The Southern Cross announces the final screening at the Victory (now the National Theatre). A double feature "Cactus Flower" & "Age of Consent". The manager at the time stating the site was worth around "$200,000" and "if sold is likely to be demolished and the site redeveloped." We are so lucky to be still standing even if business during these times is a huge struggle! ... #supportthearts #stkilda #melbournetheatre #arcitecture #historical #iconic #theatre #oldcinema #archive #heritage #melbournehistory See more
