A little more of Sydney dies.
Apparantly, the Valhalla in Glebe is screening its last movie tomorrow night.
I'd love to see them restore this to a proper theatre again, but I expect that this won't happen.

Valhalla closing

It did this a few years ago, then sat there for a while, then someone re-opened it.
While it is sad to see cultural history die, it's very understandable that it would not be very viable. I prefer to see my movies at the newer tech cinemas. The Randwick Ritz is a great cinema BTW, cheap prices, comfy seats and reasonable tech. - Nick

Yes to both of those.
I can recall taking the other admin to the Valhalla when he was just knee high to a pigmy grasshopper. Their Saturday matinees, with Jaffas supplied, were a .... ball. Our most recent visit was just a couple of months back, to see The Guide To The Guide. g.

I hope you don't mean the Hayden Orpheum... That's a classic cinema and always seemed to be very popular... One of the last remaining Wurlitzers... Please tell me it's not so... Cheers, John

Aaaah the Valhalla,
I saw the original production of Rocky Horror there in the 70s and it was under 'demolition' even then!! Last time I went there was for Ian McKellen's wonderful Richard III (the one where he does the soliloquy "Now is the winter of our discontent ..." struggling with his one hand to undo his fly and take a leak). The Cremorne Orpheum is one of the last remaining cinemas in Sydney with a 70mm projector. It might not be new technology (as if that even matters) but nothing beats a film shot and screened on 70mm. Baraka had a lengthy run there and I was fortunate enough to be invoited to a private screening of the last remaining 70mm print of LAWRENCE OF ARABIA there one Sunday morning a few years back before the print was shipped to its new abode - the private collection of Mr. S. Spielberg. _______________

No no I didn't mean to say that it's closed down. I meant to say that it's one of the classic cinema in Sydney. The "RIP" was for Valhalla.
