Originally The New Theatre, it opened on Boxing Day, 1912. It went through several iterations, being renamed once before becoming the Opera House in 1920. It's also been used for different functions; as a cinema in WW2, then a bingo hall before reopening as a theatre again in 1984. Since, it has hosted magnificent shows like Barnum and Phantom of the Opera.

Q:
Are there armrests on the gallery seats? Taking someone with access needs tonight and while we're confident about the steps up to the gallery and the steep steps down to the seats, they're concerned about the armrest situation. While there are clearly armrests in the stalls and circle seats, the photos online seem to suggest that the gallery seats are a different design and may not have armrests. We're in row A. Can anyone shed any light?
A:
Answering my own questions! There are no armrests in the gallery. There are armrests in the circle and stalls.
