New Theatre (Cardiff)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The New Theatre (Welsh: Theatr Newydd although it usually uses its English name as a title) is one of the principal theatres in Cardiff, Wales, and celebrated its centenary in 2006. It is located in the city centre on Park Place, close to Cathays Park.
The theatre has a capacity of 1,144, and hosts a number of touring productions including musicals, plays and children's shows and also presents an annual Christmas pantomime.
The theatre is the former principal base of the Welsh National Opera, a company which has since taken up permanent residence in the Wales Millennium Centre.
Arts Active is the education, community and audience engagement section of St David's Hall and the New Theatre.
The theatre also hosts all the rounds of the Song Prize of the BBC Cardiff Singer of the World competition, apart from the final night, which is held in St David's Hall.
