praktisk information om teatret og gode råd til billetbestilling før dit besøg. Teatret slog dørene op den 10. september 1892 med forestillingen Wedding Eve. I de første to år var det kendt som Trafalgar Square Theatre

før navnet blev ændret til Trafalgar Theatre og endeligt til Duke of York’s i 1895 for at ære den fremtidige kong George V. Teatret nød stor succes i sine tidlige år med opsætninger som den musikalske komedie Go-Bang i 1894

Jerome K. Jeromes Miss Hobbs i 1900 og Belascos Madame Butterfly. Sidstnævnte blev set af Puccini

som senere bearbejdede stykket til en af sine mest berømte operaer (denne version fik premiere på teatret i 1932). Den 27. december 1904 markerede premieren på J.M. Barries Peter Pan

der i dag står som et af de mest ikoniske værker inden for børneteater. Gennem 1930'erne fortsatte teatret med at præsentere et alsidigt repertoire

herunder The Ballet Rambert – som var med til at øge ballettens popularitet i Storbritannien – samt Grand Guignol

de naturalistiske gysershows

der havde gået deres sejrsgang i Paris. I 1960 blev bygningen fredet som Grade II-listed

og i 1979 lukkede den for en gennemgribende renovering

før den genåbnede blot et år senere. Da Ambassador Theatre Group opkøbte teatret i 1992

faldt det sammen med en af tidens mest omtalte forestillinger: Royal Courts opsætning af Death and the Maiden. Dette samarbejde førte i 1995 til en succesfuld Royal Court Classics-sæson samt den anmelderroste opsætning af The Weir

som spillede i hele to år. I dag danner teatret fortsat ramme om et bredt udvalg af scenekunst

samtidig med at det fungerer som London-hovedkvarter for Ambassador Theatre Group og produktionskontor for Sonia Friedman Productions.

The theatre opened on 10 September 1892 with a production of Wedding Eve. For its two first years

it was known as the Trafalgar Square Theatre before it was changed to Trafalgar Theatre and then finally to the Duke of York’s in 1895 to honor future King George V. The theatre had many early successes

including Go-Bang

a musical comedy in 1894

Jerome K Jerome’s Miss Hobbs in 1900 and Belasco’s Madame Butterfly. Puccini

who would later adapt it for one of his most famous operas

saw this production (his version would open in the theatre in 1932). 27 December 1904 saw the debut of J. M. Barrie’s Peter Pan

now one of the most famous pieces of children’s theatre. The Theatre continued to show a diverse range of works throughout the 1930s

including The Ballet Rambert (which helped to raise the popularity of ballet in Britain) and Grand Guignol

naturalistic horror shows that had proven popular in Paris. In 1960

the building received Grade 2 listing

and was closed in 1979 for refurbishment

opening again only a year later. The theatre’s purchase by the Ambassador Theatre Group in 1992 coincided with one of the most talked about shows of the time; the Royal Court’s production of Death and the Maiden. A successful Royal Court Classics Season would follow this collaboration in 1995

as well as the acclaimed production of The Weir (which would enjoy a two year run). The theatre continues to host a diverse range of theatrical entertainment

whilst also serving as the London HQ for the Ambassador Theatre Group

and the producing offices for Sonia Friedman Prodcutions.
