Time Out says

Sydney's State Theatre is a monument to another age; with elements of Gothic, Italianate and Art Deco design, this theatre itself offers a spectacle to rival the on-stage action.

For glorious nostalgia, pick something along traditional lines, so the venue and performance work together.
