London Theatres

The Theatreland.

About 100 theatres are situated in London, and 50 of them are in the West End. Most of older London theatres are concentrated in a very small area called the Theatreland. This place is near Piccadilly Circus and Leicester Square Tube stations.

Theatre is a popular entertainment in Great Britain

Theatre is a popular entertainment in Great Britain. There are many old and famous theatres all over the country. New theatres appear nowadays in some provincial cities and towns. But the theatrical centre of the country is, of course, London. There are about 48 main theatres in the West End and about 10 in the suburb. Everyone may find a theatre to their own taste. In the National Theatre you may watch intellectual drama of Bernard Shaw and emotional plays of John Galsworthy. The Royal Court Theatre and The Mermaid Theatre in London put on modern plays. There is the National Youth Theatre. Its members are all young people. It produces plays at home and abroad during the summer.
World-famous for its concerts is Albert Hall in London. Among the first-class orchestras are BBC Symphony and London Symphony. There is the Royal Opera House at Covent Garden. The standard of its performances is very high. One of the most famous ballet companies is the Royal Ballet. It performs in London and sometimes in other British towns and all over the world.

Covent Garden

If you are fond of ballet and opera you should visit the Royal Opera House. It is situated in Covent Garden and houses both the Royal Opera and the Royal Ballet. You can not just listen to the best operas in English but also watch classical and modern ballets at the Coliseum which now houses the English National Opera and the English National Ballet companies.

The Royal National Theatre

Royal National Theatre, formerly (1962–88) National Theatre, a partly subsidized complex of British theatre companies that was formed in 1962. It was given a permanent home at the South Bank arts complex in the Greater London borough of Lambeth in 1976. In 1988 Queen Elizabeth II gave permission for the company to add “Royal” to its name.

Mermaid Theatre

Royal Theater Drury Lane

The Lyric Theatre

The Royal Court Theatre

Theater Palace

Theater Palace is a very noticeable building - an unusual red brick building, facing the noisy Charing Cross Street with its main entrance and facade. It is very large (for almost 1500 viewers), quirky and looks a little strange in noisy Soho.

The International Shakespeare Globe Centre

The International Shakespeare Globe Centre was opened by Queen Elizabeth II in 1997. Shows at the new Globe are staged in much the same manner as they were in Shakespeare’s time: no scenery, no spotlights or microphones. The main idea is to involve the audience in the show.

The Garrick Theatre

Wyndham Theater in London

Phoenix Theatre London

Park Theatre
