About this space

The Capitol at RMIT is a restored heritage cinema and theatre on Swanston Street in Melbourne. Its main auditorium has 568 fixed seats, eight wheelchair positions with companion places, 4K DCP cinema projection, Dolby surround sound and a retractable screen. An LED-lit geometric ceiling, fly tower and stage technology support screenings, conferences, talks, festivals and live presentations. The main Theatre is a distinct bookable space from the smaller Salon, Lounge and Foyer, which each have their own capacities. Technical, front-of-house, bar and catering arrangements are tailored with the venue team and should not be assumed to form part of basic auditorium hire.
