莱西姆剧院

Lyceum Theatre 是伦敦的一座剧院场馆，曾在 British Theatre 上介绍过。来这里了解即将上演的剧目、实用的场馆指南，以及到访前的订票建议。 旧利西姆剧院建于1765年，最初用于制作戏剧和音乐娱乐节目。1794年至1809年期间，该建筑用途多样，包括马戏团、教堂、音乐厅以及杜莎夫人的首个蜡像展览室。1809年至1812年期间，德鲁里巷剧团在此演出，随后在1816年重建为英语歌剧院。1830年，一场大火将其毁于一旦。 1834年，一个新址以皇家利西姆剧院和英语歌剧院的名义开放，推广英语歌剧，制作如《山地仙女》和《美丽的罗莎蒙德》等作品。此后，歌剧的比重逐渐减小，剧院从1844年开始重新制作戏剧。 19世纪著名的制作有《钟声》（150场）、《查理一世》（180场）和《哈姆雷特》（200场），均由亨利·欧文主演。布拉姆·斯托克在欧文任职期间担任剧院的商务经理，欧文本人即为小说《德古拉》中德古拉伯爵角色的现实灵感来源。遗憾的是，欧文并未同意出演这个小说的改编作品。 20世纪对剧院来说是一个波动的时期，1939年戏院关闭，1951年改造为舞厅（举办过The Police、The Clash、The Smiths、Bob Marley和Genesis等大乐队和摇滚乐队的演出），1986年终于关闭。1996年重开并翻修后开始制作音乐剧。从1999年起，该剧院一直在演出《狮子王》。 《狮子王》（1999年9月24日－）《奥克拉荷马！》（1999年2月－1999年6月）《耶稣基督超级巨星》（1996年11月19日－1998年3月28日） 迪士尼的壮观音乐剧在莱修姆剧院把非洲大草原带到了现场。这部《狮子王》曾荣获六项托尼奖，其令人惊叹的木偶表演、华丽的服装以及由埃尔顿·约翰和蒂姆·赖斯创作的难忘歌曲如《生命轮回》和《今夜爱无限》都令人印象深刻。

The Old Lyceum Theatre was built in 1765

producing plays and musical entertainments. Between 1794 and 1809 the building served various purposes

including a circus

a chapel

a concert room

and an exhibition room for the first waxworks displayed by Madame Tussaud. It was used by the Drury Lane Company between 1809 and 1812

before being rebuilt in 1816 as The English Opera House. A fire destroyed it in 1830. A new site opened in 1834 under the name Theatre Royal Lyceum and English Opera House

championing English opera with productions such as The Mountain Sylph and Fair Rosamund. The emphasis towards opera would slowly decline until the theatre started producing plays again from 1844. Notable productions of the 19th Century were The Bells (150 performances)

Charles 1 (180)

and Hamlet (200)

all starring Henry Irving. Bram Stoker was working as a business manager during Irving’s tenure at the theatre

and the actor served as the real-life inspiration for Count Dracula in the novel Dracula

which would later be produced on the Lyceum stage (much to Stoker’s disappointment

Irving did not agree to perform in the adaptation). The 20th Century was a time of fluctuation for the theatre

with the theatre closing in 1939

being converted into a ballroom in 1951 (hosting performances by big bands and rock bands such as The Police

The Clash

The Smiths

Bob Marley

and Genesis)

and finally going dark in 1986. It was finally restored and renovated in 1996

where it began producing musicals. The Lion King

its current production

has been running since 1999.

The Lion King (24 September 1999 -)
Oklahoma! (February 1999 – June 1999)
Jesus Christ Superstar (19 November 1996 – 28 March 1998)
