Capriccio's was a popular gay bar[1] and theatre once situated near Taylor Square on Oxford Street in the city of Sydney, Australia.
[2] Opened by Dawn O'Donnell and Marjorie Hathaway in 1969,[3] the venue was one of the first two establishments on what became known as Sydney's gay "Golden Mile", the other being Ivy's Birdcage.
[6]Before closing, Capriccio's held a final drag show, Roseland Ballroom, which lured large crowds and had a production cost rumoured to exceed $30,000 (AUD).
Amelia Airhead, one of the drag queens who created the show, said that“The second part is an exploration of [Capriccio's] but has a modern day twist.
Many of the outfits are kept to the original way...Drag shows have changed, especially as Capriccios was a seven-nights-a-week venue that had the ultimate professionalism with sets flying in and out, today we perform in pubs behind the bar or on a little stage.
