阿波罗剧院

阿波罗剧院（Apollo Theatre）是伦敦一座剧院场地，曾在 British Theatre 上专题报道。来这里了解即将上演的剧目、实用的场馆指南，以及到访前的购票建议与贴士。 阿波罗剧院（Apollo Theatre）于1901年开幕，首演剧目为美国音乐喜剧《波希米亚美人》（The Belle of Bohemia）。这部开幕演出可谓相当贴切——剧院作为沙夫茨伯里大道上兴建的第四座剧院，最初便是为音乐类演出而建。 直到1912年，阿波罗剧院的舞台主要由音乐喜剧占据；当年政策调整后，剧院得以呈现更丰富多元的作品。此后，这里上演了多位重量级剧作家的作品，包括肖恩·奥凯西（Sean O’Casey）、艾弗·诺韦洛（Ivor Novello）、诺埃尔·考沃德（Noël Coward）以及特伦斯·拉提根（Terence Rattigan）。1932年，剧院在施奥费尔贝格（Schaufelberg）主持的翻新中，为皇家包厢增设了私密前厅与候厅；不过整体而言，阿波罗此后面貌变化不大。 1962年，剧院迎来最成功的制作之一《波音波音》（Boeing Boeing），并于1965年转至公爵夫人剧院（Duchess Theatre）继续上演。几年后，约翰·吉尔古德爵士（Sir John Gielgud）在艾伦·贝内特（Alan Bennett）的《四十年之后》（Forty Years On）中演出，备受赞誉（他后来还于1988年重返阿波罗，在此完成其晚期最重要的舞台演出之一）。1975年，斯托尔-莫斯集团（Stoll Moss Group）收购剧院，并于2000年将其出售给“非常有用集团”（Really Useful Group）与桥点资本（Bridgepoint Capital）。 2005年，妮卡·伯恩斯（Nica Burns）与马克斯·魏岑霍弗（Max Weitzenhoffer）购入阿波罗剧院，并成立尼马克斯剧院集团（Nimax Theatres）。进入21世纪后，阿波罗接连迎来多部口碑佳作，包括由大卫·苏切（David Suchet）主演的《我的儿子们》（All My Sons）、广受赞誉的《耶路撒冷》（Jerusalem）（除在阿波罗两季大获成功外，还转战百老汇再创佳绩），以及获奖制作《深夜小狗神秘事件》（The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time）。 2013年圣诞节前夕，在《深夜小狗神秘事件》演出期间，剧院天花板一部分突然坍塌，导致剧院关闭数月。事故原因被归咎于老化的维多利亚时代建筑结构。随后，《血色入侵》（Let The Right One In）作为复演后的首部作品登台；剧院以加装假天花板来遮蔽受损区域，并在修复工程启动期间暂停使用最上层看台。 我与雷格共度的一夜（2015）尿城（2014/15）血色入侵（2014）深夜小狗神秘事件 （2013）《理查三世》与《第十二夜》（2012）漫长的白昼通向黑夜之旅（2012）乔治三世的疯狂（2012）耶路撒冷（2011–2012）是，首相大臣（2011）开心鬼（2011）我的儿子们（2010）耶路撒冷（2010）凯丽的战争（2009）三天的雨（2009）雨人（2008）歌剧女伶（2008）漩涡（2008）与黑手党共度的一个夜晚（2008）格伦加里·格伦罗斯（2007）最后五年（2007）玻璃动物园（2007）夏天与烟（2006）谁害怕弗吉尼亚·伍尔夫？（2006） 亲临阿波罗剧院，观看顶级英国讽刺喜剧《对不起，首相》的现场演出。这部作品非常适合热爱聪明政治喜剧的观众。 体验节日氛围下的爆笑混乱：康利业余戏剧协会将灾难性地尝试把经典的埃比尼泽·斯克鲁奇故事搬上舞台。立即前往 BritishTheatre.com 预订门票。 《Punch》以扣人心弦且极具人性的视角，讲述一段关于悲剧、正义与救赎的真实故事，是詹姆斯·格雷厄姆迄今最打动人心的作品。在 BritishTheatre.com 订票。 在阿波罗剧院购买《弗尔蒂旅馆》门票。演出阵容、场次时间及演出信息详见 BritishTheatre.com。

The Apollo Theatre opened in 1901 with a production of American Musical comedy

The Belle of Bohemia. A fitting opening show

as the building (the fourth theatre to be built on Shaftesbury Avenue) was constructed as a venue for musical performances. Musical comedies ran in the Apollo until 1912

when a policy change allowed a greater variety of work to be performed in the theatre. This saw productions from such respected writers as Sean O’Casey

Ivor Novello

Noel Coward

and Terrance Rattigan. The Apollo had a private foyer and anteroom installed to the Royal Box during its renovation by Schaufelberg in 1932

but the theatre has remained largely unchanged since. The theatre saw one of its most successful productions in 1962 with Boeing Boeing

which eventually transferred to the duchess in 1965. Only a few years later

Sir John Gielgud performed in Alan Bennet’s Forty Years On to great praise (he would later come back to the Apollo to make one of his last stage appearances in 1988). The Stoll Moss Group purchased the theatre in 1975 and sold it to Really Useful Group and Bridgepoint Capital in 2000. In 2005

Nica Burns and Max Weitzenhoffer purchased the Apollo and formed Nimax Theatres. The early 21st century has seen the Apollo host renowned plays such as All My Sons (with David Suchet)

the universally acclaimed Jerusalem (which

on top of two successful seasons at the Apollo

moved to further triumph on Broadway)

and the award-winning production of The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time. Just before Christmas 2013

during a performance of The Curious Incident Of The Dog In The Night-Time a section of the ceiling collapsed closing the theatre for several months. The collapse was blamed on the ageing Victorian architecture. Let The Right One In re-opened the theatre with a false ceiling concealing the damage and removing the top balcony from use whilst repairs were instigated.
