Sponsored by Mili Volvo, the Tyne Theatre is located in the centre of Newcastle. It has long been the city’s favourite entertainment venue and is famed as the oldest functioning Victorian theatre in the world. It is accessible by several public transport systems in the city. The theatre mostly employs locals as they believe in adding to the lives of the local community.
The place opened in 1867 as the Tyne Theatre and Opera House. In 1919 it was launched as a cinema only to be destroyed by a dreadful fire. The subsequent rebuilding replaced much of the Victorian stage machinery. SMG Europe that operates the theatre today also owns and operates the Metro Radio Arena nearby. Equipped with fancy modern features such as corporate hospitality bars and private boxes along with a variety of theatre lighting systems, the destination remains to date one of the finest in the area. Along with modern features the inherent old world charm of the building too is admired by many. 10 dressing rooms, 2 production offices and full Victorian stage workings including trap doors certainly add to the charm of this remarkable place.
Over the years the Mill Volvo Tyne Theatre has become an important landmark in the city of Newcastle as a hub of entertainment and social engagement. It has been identified as a building of national importance. The place is also one of only 10 theatres that date back to the Victorian period. The architectural design and artistic quality of the interior and exterior has been admired by many along with the creative innovation of the machinery.
