A video tour of Melbourne's Princess Theatre

Описание: The Princess Theatre is Melbourne's oldest, having opened with a season of Gilbert and Sullivan's The Mikado in 1886.

In this Leader Newspapers' video, the Spring St institution's long-term tour guide -- Wilma Farrow -- talks viewers through some of her favourite productions and moments in the theatre's proud 125-year history.

She also tells of how the several decades ago, the Princess came perilously close to being demolished -- to make way for a carpark for the politicians across the road at Parliament House.
