The Capitol Theatre is an iconic and historic landmark that first opened in July 1930 as a cinema, with a screening of the 1929 musical Rio Rita. At the time, it was “hailed as having the most modern auditorium” in the Far East, per the NLB.
From the ’50s to the ’60s, the Capitol Theatre was one of the “premier picture places” of its time, per URA. It also doubled as the venue for both Miss Singapore and Miss Malaya beauty pageants, and also saw performances by local legends The Quests.
The Capitol Theatre would close in December 1998, before being redeveloped in the early-2010s, and finally re-opening on May 19, 2015 with the world premiere of Singapura: The Musical.
