Theatre Royal Wakefield 5919 - a photo on Flickriver

            The Wakefield Opera House opened in October 1894 and is the smallest of architect Frank Matcham's surviving theatres. It quickly became the Theatre Royal and Opera House, and is now known as the Theatre Royal Wakefield. In between it was converted to a cinema in 1955 and called the Essoldo, this became the Lucky 7 Bingo Club in 1966, and it was not until 1986 that live theatre returned following a restoration by Joe Parker. In 2018 the Walker Studio, a new box office, café bar, additional toilets and office space was constructed alongside the existing building. It seats around 500 on three levels with two boxes - the upper level (Upper Circle) is notably comfortable with great sightlines. The Theatre Royal is a grade 2* listed building.
