Hidden from public gaze for five years, one of the jewels in Melbourne’s architectural crown, The Capitol – a 1920s design triumph of Walter Burley Griffin and Marion Mahony Griffin – has reopened its doors. The RMIT University-owned theatre underwent a three-year $20m+ restoration after it was mothballed in 2014 after falling into disrepair. It originally opened in 1924 and was the first large picture palace in Victoria.
