December 29th, 2024Big musical birthday bash planned for Her Maj

Her Majesty’s Theatre Ballarat will come alive for its 150th birthday with a spectacular musical takeover set for  Saturday evening, February 1.

The city’s iconic theatre means a lot to the people of Ballarat, so the venue’s management is inviting the wider community to help celebrate the historic occasion.

Participatory arts company Everybody NOW! have brought together dozens of local community groups, artists, and musicians to take over the whole building and show that “the old girl still knows how to party”.   

It’s advised that those who get along “expect the unexpected as you explore music, song, and stories woven throughout our beloved Ballarat icon”.

From brass bands to punk pop, choirs to classics, Birthday Party! is a genre-bending, community-led celebration starring over 100 local legends.
