孔雀剧院

孔雀剧院（Peacock Theatre）是伦敦的一处剧院场馆，曾在 British Theatre 上亮相。来这里了解即将上演的演出、实用的场馆指南，以及观演前的订票贴士。 自17世纪以来，这片土地上就有一家剧院，现被称为孔雀剧院。1660年，在此举办的《奥赛罗》演出中出现了伦敦舞台上首位（被确认的）女性演员表演，但除此之外就没有其他戏剧记录了。这栋建筑在1809年的一场火灾中被毁。之后，由奥斯卡·汉默斯坦一世（奥斯卡·汉默斯坦二世的祖父）委托建设的新剧院于1911年以伦敦歌剧院的名义开幕。 在举办了一系列歌剧演出（包括首次由日本歌唱家演出的《蝴蝶夫人》）之后，由于观众数量偏低，剧院于1916年被奥斯瓦尔德·斯托尔收购，并更名为斯托尔剧院。在其关闭和于1957年拆除之前，这座剧院曾举办过电影放映、杂耍表演和戏剧演出。 现今的剧院曾名为皇家剧院，于1960年建成，并放映电影到1966年。除了《哦！卡尔卡塔！》之外，很少有作品取得成功，该剧院随后成为电视节目《这就是你的生活》的录制现场。后被伦敦经济学院购入，并改名为孔雀剧院。萨德勒斯威尔斯舞蹈公司于1996年迁入该剧院，并在1998年新萨德勒斯威尔斯剧院开幕后成为他们的专属舞蹈场地。目前，该场地由舞蹈演出和伦敦经济学院共同使用。 据说，这个剧院还有一个被称作“弗利普”的海豚幽灵出没。 砰!

A theatre has stood on the site of the Peacock since the 17th Century. The Gibbon’s Tennis Court hosted a production of Othello in 1660

which featured the first (identified) woman on a London stage. No other records of plays remain and the building was destroyed in a fire in 1809. A new theatre was commissioned by Oscar Hammerstein I (Oscar Hammerstein II’s grandfather) and opened in 1911 as the London Opera House. After a string of operatic productions (including a production of The Queen of Spades that featured the first Japanese singer to play Madame Butterfly)

low audience numbers led to theatre to be sold to Oswald Stoll in 1916

who renamed it the Stoll Theatre. The theatre hosted cinema screenings

variety acts

and theatrical productions until its closure and demolition in 1957. The present theatre

known then as The Royalty Theatre

was built in 1960

where it showed films until 1966. With the exception of Oh! Calcutta! few productions found success and the theatre became a TV studio for This is Your Life before its purchase by the London School of Economics (who renamed it the Peacock Theatre). The Sadler’s Wells Company moved to the theatre in 1996

and after the new Sadler’s Wells Theatre opened in 1998

the theatre become their dedicated dance venue. The venue is currently shared between these dance productions and LSE. The theatre is believed by some to be haunted by a dolphin

known as ‘Flipper’.
