Princess Theatre

163 Spring St, Melbourne VIC 3000

Melbourne’s iconic Princess Theatre is regarded by many as Melbourne’s most spectacular landmark. Dating back as far as 1854, The Princess Theatre reopened in 1989 with the musical Les Miserables followed by The Phantom of the Opera, the longest-running show ever staged in Victoria. The theatre is believed to be haunted by the friendly ghost of Federici, who died of a heart attack on 3 March 1888 after a performance of the opera, Faust. Every opening night a seat in the Dress Circle is left empty for him and it is a sign of good luck if there is a sighting of Federici on that night.
