Theater admirers will have an opportunity to visit the Princess Theater. This opera house is located in a classy Victorian building. For the history of existence, the building of the theater was repeatedly rebuilt and modernized. The last major reconstruction took place in 1989. This ancient theater has its own unusual symbol - a ghost, for which a free seat is always left in the hall. In 1888, the opera Faust was staged in the theater, in which singer Frederick Baker performed. One of the main roles he died right during the performance. The theater’s staffs believe that his spirit is still in the theater.
Melbourne has many beautiful religious sites. One of the most spectacular is St. Paul's Cathedral. Built at the turn of the 19th - 20th centuries, it is a vivid monument in the Gothic style. The main decoration of the cathedral is considered to be a unique organ, which was made by the best foremen in the world. Despite the fact that the cathedral is actually located in the historic center of Melbourne, its fine façade has long been obscured by modern high-rise buildings. Not all tourists can independently find the cathedral.
