The Capitol Theatre is a former cinema and concert venue on Union Street in Aberdeen, Scotland.
The Capitol opened in February 1933, on the site of the earlier Electric Cinema. It seated 2,100, to the plans of architects AGR Mackenzie and Clement George. In 1933, the Capitol was Aberdeen's most luxurious cinema, with full stage facilities, a holophane lighting system and a Compton Organ.
In addition to functioning as a cinema, The Capitol featured regular stage shows and these gradually became the venue’s focus. The venue showed its final film in 1995 and closed in 1998, with the exception of a bar at the front of the building.
