  • <p>Regent Theatre 191 Collins Street, Melbourne, VIC 3000 - Re-opening 1947 with new square proscenium.</p> <p>The Regent Theatre in Collins street, Melbourne was originally designed in the late 1920s by Cedric Ballantyne.</p> <p>*Catastrophic fire</p> <p>A major rebuild was required in 1945-7 after a catastrophic fire gutted the building.
