Frommer's Review

A lovely old wedding cake of an Edwardian theater, the venue was rescued from demolition in 1979. It's Perth's major venue for the WA Ballet and Opera companies, cabaret performances (downstairs), and visiting theater productions, including those for the Perth International Arts Festival. Friends (volunteers) of His Majesty's are on hand Monday to Friday 10am to 4pm to provide information and tours of the theater (unless it's in use) and public areas for a donation. Downstairs houses the Museum of Performing Arts, with an engrossing collection of costumes and other memorabilia. A modern cafe, Barre, occupies part of the ground floor. King Street, just north of the theater, is a charming little thoroughfare with numerous restored buildings housing upmarket bistros, galleries, and fashion stores.

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
