  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.

  Having shot in theatres many times, I wonder what type of camera and film on which this was taken. In recent tymes, I require a high ISO film and would still have trouble getting this amount of depth of field. Maybe those aren't stage lights we see but a big flash?
