About Capitol Theatre Melbourne

The Capitol is a 1924 cinema and theatre at 113 Swanston Street, opposite Melbourne Town Hall, owned and run by RMIT University. Designed by Marion Mahony Griffin and Walter Burley Griffin, it was Victoria's first extravagant picture palace and is regarded as the Griffins' greatest interior design work. RMIT restored and reopened it in 2019, and the theatre now seats about 570 for screenings, performances, talks and festivals.

Tram: Stop 6 Town Hall/Collins Street (routes 11, 12, 48 and 109) and stop 11 Collins Street/Swanston Street (routes 1, 3, 5, 6, 16, 64, 67 and 72).

Train: About a five-minute walk from Flinders Street or Melbourne Central stations.

Car: Metered and timed parking is on nearby streets, and there are several car parks close by, including Federation Square car park.

Accessibility

Enter the Capitol Arcade from Swanston Street or Howie Place and take the lift halfway along the arcade to the Foyer level; a separate lift inside serves the Theatre, Salon and Lounge levels. The theatre has eight wheelchair spaces with eight companion seats, four reached from the Foyer level and four from the Salon level by lift. Wheelchair-accessible toilets with baby change are on the Foyer level, and a hearing loop covers the whole building. Accessible parking is on Little Collins and surrounding streets, and at Federation Square car park.
