Bradford Alhambra

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Bradford Alhambra is a theatre in Bradford, West Yorkshire. It was built, as a Music hall, in 1914 for theatre impresario Frank Laidler, and later owned by the Moss Empire group (Oswald Stoll and Edward Moss) and refurbished in 1986. It seats 1650.

Today, the Alhambra is regarded amongst the North's premier touring venues and hosts a great range of stage shows from ballet and opera to variety and comedy, musicals, drama and, of course, the annual pantomime. Regular visits are made from prestigious companies such as the Royal Shakespeare Company, Birmingham Royal Ballet, Northern Ballet Theatre and the Royal National Theatre to compliment spectacular West End musicals such as Grease, Whistle Down the Wind and The Phantom of the Opera.
