Theatre Information |
| Richmond Theatre is one of the most exquisite
of all the Frank Matcham theatres. It was constructed in 1899 as the Theatre
Royal and Opera House and renovated in 1991 and is a Grade 2 listed
building. It is now controlled and managed by The Ambassador Theatre Group
Ltd, which is celebrated for its productions and ownership of theatre venues
throughout the country. Richmond Theatre is very well accepted as one of the
most successful theatres in the country exhibiting a wide range of superior
performances every year. It welcomes a quarter of a million theatregoers to
over 40 spectacular productions a year performing for approximately
forty-nine weeks in each year. There are also up to four hundred young
people who visit education events, workshops and summer school activities
each year. Tours of the historic building, the auditorium and stage area are
available to the general public. The Theatre acts as a venue for local arts
organisations and charities. The theatre, to begin with called the Richmond
Theatre and Opera House, is structured into the familiar stalls, dress and
upper circles, with four boxes at dress level. The auditorium is a mixture
of gilt detailing and red lavish fabrics, covering seats and front of
circles. The theatre is now part of the Ambassador Theatre Group and has a
weekly schedule of plays and musicals, generally given by professional
touring companies. Pre-West End shows can occasionally be watched here.
There is a substantial Christmas and New Year pantomime tradition and many
of Britain's leading music hall and pantomime performers have appeared here. |
