His Majesty's Theatre
The iconic His Majesty’s Theatre is the only remaining working Edwardian theatre in Australia and is home to WA Ballet and WA Opera. Higgins was delighted to be asked to complete painting works to refresh this gem in the Perth CBD.
A new colour palette had been selected by an architect, drawing on inspiration from His Majesty’s Theatre in Aberdeen Scotland. Interior works included painting of the three-level auditorium, the ballet studio and several other items throughout the theatre, including the majestic stair case.
Working in a heritage building requires a special team that ensures the cultural significance of heritage items are maintained over time. The performance schedule also meant the team had to work within in very tight time frames to ensure there was no disruptions.
Our Perth team took a lot of pride in their work and the results were outstanding, as backed by the testimonials from the client:
“ Very happy and impressed with all aspects of Higgins’ work… we were impressed with all members of the painting crew who were very polite, friendly and accommodating. It was very clear to us that they have taken pride in performing the job. Higgins has made a very impressive “first impression” with the Perth Theatre Trust!”
