The Majestic Theatre, Singapore
The Majestic Theatre is one of the prominent landmarks in Chinatown, located between People's Park Complex and Yue Hwa Department Store.
The Majestic Theatre was built by the rich philanthropist Eu Tong Sen in 1927 as the Tien Yien Moh Toi Theatre for Cantonese operas. Later, it was converted into a cinema for Chinese films and renamed as Queen's Theatre; the name was changed again to Majestic Theatre.
In the early 2000s, the Majestic Theatre was renovated at a cost of S$8 million into a three-storey shopping mall. The conservation building was then renamed The Majestic, and was opened on 17 January 2003.
