WebsiteFormerly called Bayliss' Colisseum and Opera House and opened in 1867, the Theatre Royal has a long and colourful history. Twice destroyed by fire then sold for conversion into a television studio complex, the theatre reaffirmed its status as the national centre for opera in 1975. It was extensively refurbished in 1997 and has four floors (each of which has a Victorian bar), with a total capacity of 1555. The theatre's home company, Scottish Opera, is the largest performing arts organisation in the country, delivering a consistently staggering quality of production (ranging from Puccini to Shakespeare). In addition to opera, this venue presents ballet, drama, lyric and children's theatre and is definitely the place to be for classy culture.
