The Architecture of The Palace Theatre

The Palace theatre was commissioned by Richard D'Oyly Carte, the foundation stone laid by his wife in 1888 can still be seen in the façade of the theatre. The architects were G. Holloway and Thomas Colcutt.

The Palace Theatre is a towering building, almost Gothic in style with five storeys of dark red brick with octagonal towers on the top. The grand foyer is clad with brown and black marble. Romanesque columns and arches wind all the way up the stairways. The auditorium is dark brown and red with classical figures, swags, and swirls flecked with gold. Mirrors, chandeliers, velvet and complex moulding complete the grand imposing look. During the late 1950's the interior marble work was covered by paint but the theatre was extensively restored in the 1980's and the marble re-exposed.
