• Vesna Verencevic said:

  The most significant advancement came with the construction in 1888 of Her Imperial Majesty’s Opera House (later known as Her Majesty’s Theatre). The theatre was lit with electricity and seated 2,700 people. Her Majesty’s Theatre became the principal venue for major performances in Brisbane for opera, musicals and ballet for almost a century.

from State Library of Queensland

• Vesna Verencevic said:

  Centennial Hall (Brisbane) Centennial Hall opened in 1888 and was located in Adelaide Street, between Albert and Edward Streets (where the present day Reserve Bank of Australia building is located). Its entrance faced the Brisbane Arcade. Its remodel with a design by Lange Leopold Powell in the 1920s[12] emphasised Art Deco decoration and the building included marble stairs and a flat auditorium floor which could seat 700 people when not in use as a dance hall. It had a gallery area which could also seat 300 people if a floor show was playing that evening.[13] Shops operated in the lower level of the building. It operated as a skating rink in the 1880s and music hall venue in the 1890s. It was operated as a bioscopy theatre from 1906-1919 and a vaudeville venue from 1940-1941. It became known as the Cocoanut Grove Ballroom after 1941,[1] and was popular with US soldiers. Fire damaged the building in April 1942. Cocoanut Grove later became known as Birdland.[4] Programs from productions at the Centennial are held in the Fryer Library of the University of Queensland.[14]" Source: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dance_Halls_of_Brisbane_in_the_twen...

Ballet dancer Katharine Cook striking a pose Brisbane Queensland 1931

• Annette Cadell said:

  A very romantic tutu as by the 1930s tutus were usually shorter in length. The traditional tutu was made of 6 layers of tulle reaching the mid calf. By the 1930s dancers performed to different styles of music and this led to a change in the ballet costumes. The classic ballgown was a popular choice for female dancers.
