The Theatre Royal sits under a layer of thick dust beneath the feet of the Sydney's MLC Centre, its stage and first rows of empty seats illuminated by a solitary light.
The city's oldest theatre, on the same site since 1875, is slated to reopen in September 2021 with the surrounding precinct of luxury retail, bars and restaurants to follow by the year's end.Theatre-goers can step from show to restaurant to bar by lift or escalator in a precinct Dexus's head of city retail development Amanda Pierboni believes will underpin the city's night-time economy.
The stage is to be relevelled. "The flying system is in good order, it just needs servicing," McFarlane says. "There'll probably be changes to the fire curtain and house curtain."
