The Festival Theatre is the capital's arena for Scottish Opera and Scottish Ballet and is at the heart of the Edinburgh International Festival. The Theatre programmes a contemporary dance season, alongside large-scale musicals, international ballet companies and a variety of one night musical events. The site of the current Edinburgh Festival Theatre was extended to create the largest stage of any presenting house in Britain at the time, reopening in June 1994. The auditorium has a capacity of 1915 seats and is a wonderful restoration of the Empire Theatre's former 1928 glory. The style of the theatre has a dramatic mix of art nouveau, beaux arts and neo-classicism, encompassing perfect acoustics within a parlour-like intimacy. Learn more about the Festival Theatre's history or study the detailed technical information on the day to day running of the theatre from communications to lighting equipment.
