In 1796, Robert Sidaway tried to open another theatre in Sydney, Australia. He opened it on Bell Row, which is now known as Bligh Street. Patrons wanting to view a show would pay a s hlling or the equivalent in some type of accepted food offering. The problem was that when the patrons were gone from their homes, criminal swould rob them.
In 1833, the Theatre Royal was opened in Sydney. Then in 1837, the Theatre Royal in Hobart opened. In 1838, Joseph Wyatt opened the Royal V ictoria Theatre on Pitt Street in Sydney. The theatre audiences of the 1840s were wild, rowdy, and ill-behaved.
In the 1850ss, Australia saw an increase in the performances of Opera and Shakespeare. During this time, touring companies brought more theatre to Australia because men who had gone there for the gold rush were looking for entertainment. It was also during this time as well as the 1860s that touring minstrels appeared in Australia.
By the 1880s, the minstrels were becoming less popular. Instead, people were interested in variety and vaudeville. By the 1900s, Australia had developed a national flavor for its theatre. It was mixed with what was considered "legitimate theatre," traditions coming from minstrelry, and popular theatre. This paved the way for theatre to continue growing in Australia.
Throughout the second half of the 20th century, government sponsored theatres popped up across the country. Actors and playwrights also emerged. Today, theatre in Australia is extremely diverse and there are performing arts centers as well as places that specialize in theatre education.
