THE THEATRE ROYAL
.
The Theatre Royal was envisaged by two Nottingham lace dressers, William and John Lambert, as a 'temple of drama'...a place of "innocent recreation and of moral and intellectual culture". After six months of building the new Theatre Royal was completed in 1865 at a cost of £15,000. The Classic facade and Corinthian columns still dominate Nottingham's city centre skyline as can be seen in the photograph above. The Theatre Royal was one of the most luxurious theatres of its day and provided opulent surroundings for the both music hall and variety. This was followed by the birth of light opera, touring opera and, by the twenties and thirties, the best Hollywood-style musicals and pantomimes. By the late 1960's the Theatre Royal had become run down and had a reputation for some of the worst backstage conditions in the country. In 1969, the city council bought it and set about restoring the theatre to its former glory. The Theatre Royal reopened in 1978, boasting elegant and airy foyers and bars, a 1,186 seat auditorium was beautifully restored in Victorian style green and gilt decor and with fully comprehensive and technically upgraded backstage facilities. The Theatre is now regarded as one of the best touring venues in the country, attracting major touring dramas, opera, ballet, West End musicals and, of course, an annual pantomime.

THE ROYAL CONCERT HALL
The Empire Theatre of Varieties opened alongside the Theatre Royal in 1898. The Empire lasted 60 glorious years showing risqué comics, saucy ladies, mind-boggling magicians and rock 'n' roll stars, with huge billings including Charlie Chaplin and Harold Lloyd. Unfortunately it closed in 1958, and was demolished in 1969. The success of the Theatre Royal paved the way for the Royal Centre's second phase, the construction of a state-of-the-art Concert Hall on the site of the old Empire. Construction of the Royal Concert Hall began in 1980 and was completed in 1982. The auditorium seats 2,499 and is air conditioned. It has a highly complex and versatile sound and lighting system and is one of the most popular concert venues on the touring circuit, attracting leading orchestras, comedians and dance acts plus rock bands and solo artistes from all over the world. One fully computerised Box Office serves both the Theatre Royal and Royal Concert Hall and is located in the main entrance foyer. It is open Monday to Saturday from 8.30am to 8.30pm and every year handles the sale of millions of tickets .
