Theatre Royal Nottingham

The Theatre Royal’s success after its renovation 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.

The Empire had lasted 60 glorious, racy years showing risquae comics, saucy ladies, mind-boggling magicians and rock‘n’roll stars, with huge star billings including Charlie Chaplin and Harold Lloyd. However, it closed in 1958, and was demolished in 1969.
>p>Construction for the Royal Concert Hall began in 1980 and was completed in 1982. The air conditioned auditorium seats 2,100 and has a highly complex and versatile sound and lighting system.

The Royal Concert Hall 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. It’s versatility and size also make it ideal for conferences, exhibitions, scientific lectures and product launches.
