opera house, blackpool
The
present Opera House is actually the third
Opera House to have been built on the site. The first, designed by famous
theatre architect Frank Matcham, who also designed the Grand Theatre and the
Tower Ballroom, was named Her Majesty’s Opera House and opened on June 10th
1889.
In November 1910, the Opera House closed for rebuilding. Its larger
replacement, by architects Mangnall and Littlewood, was formally opened nine
months later.
The second Opera House was demolished 27 years later and in its place was
erected the present 3,000 seat building which opened on 14th July 1939.
Possessing the largest stage in the country, it was designed in a modernist
style with a sweepingly curved proscenium.
Join us as we tour the auditorium, circle, above and below the stage and even the original projector room!
