Opened in 1904, the London Coliseum was designed by legendary theatre architect Frank Matcham with the goal of being “the people’s palace of entertainment.” It was one of the most technically advanced theatres of its time, boasting a revolving stage and a lavishly decorated auditorium.
Originally intended for music hall and variety performances, the Coliseum transitioned into a major venue for film screenings and wartime entertainment before becoming the permanent home of the English National Opera in 1968. Over the years, it has also hosted ballet, plays, and large-scale musicals including Chess, Bat Out of Hell, and Hairspray.
