The story

The Tivoli Theatre was originally built as the Adams Bakery in 1927. It was later used by the State Library to store rare books, but with Expo '88 reverberating in the city, a new owner, Ann Garms OAM transformed it into The Tivoli Restaurant and Theatre - modelled on the Paradis Latin in Paris (1803) one of France's most famous cabaret theatres. In 2016, the venue was purchased by brothers Steve and Dave Sleswick after being earmarked for development. Today, The Tiv retains its stunning art deco features and old-world charm and is widely considered to be one of Australia's most beautiful performance venues.
