Lieder Theatre, Goulburn

Lieder Theatre, Goulburn

The Goulburn Liedertafel Society was established in 1891. Liedertafel literally means "song table" in German and is the common name for a male voice singing society. In 1908 the society acquired Lander's Hall for rehearsals and then had Manfred & Sons design this hall for the site.

The new hall was opened on 22nd August 1929 and it hosted its first stage production in March the following year. After hosting a variety of events and productions over the years the Liedertafel Hall was renamed the Lieder Theatre in 1971 and still works as a theatre today.
