The Palace Theatre was originally designed in 1891 as the Royal English Opera House and was converted the following year as The Palace Theatre of Varieties due to the stature of the building and it's design. In 1989 the exterior was restored to it's former glory with the interiors being restored in 2004 with very little change.
The building is very striking and with it being in prime location, The Palace Theatre has many architectural features, with the statues and windows that have been created. The building materials add to the design through the colour of the brick in contrast with the stone. It is important for the exterior of the building to have an impact when the visitors arrive to see the selected show. When selecting my building i must bear this in mind.
The interior of the building are a grand reflection of the exterior of the building, you can get a real sense of an atmosphere when you go to watch a performance through the decor. Like other Theatre's the use of red and gold has been highly used to create a feel of luxury.
