It is an Edwardian exterior in stone with the main entrance flanked by twin, leaded domes on low, columned drums. A large, central, semi-circular opening at first floor level contains a balustraded balcony, with an iron canopy below covering various entrances marked UPPER CIRCLE, DRESS CIRCLE AND STALLS and PRIVATE BOXES. The name OPERA HOUSE appears between the drums and below a central group sculpture. To the left of this main entrance block is a single-storey block in stone with a recessed entrance marked ‘Pavilion Gardens’.
