Summary
[edit]DescriptionRoyal Opera House - Bow Street, London - statue (6446853425).jpg |
Walking to the Strand to get to our theatre to see Crazy For You. Going down Bow Street. Near Covent Garden. This is the Royal Opera House on Bow Street in London. Only got these close up shots as we went past. Didn't go back this way later that night (we went back to Leicester Square Underground not Covent Garden). The Royal Opera House is Grade I listed. Royal Opera House, Westminster TQ 3080 NW and 3081 SW CITY OF WESTMINSTER BOW STREET, WC2 59/22 ;72/ 5 9.1.70 Royal Opera House, Covent Garden G.V. I Opera house. Rebuild of 1857-58 by E.M. Barry. Stucco and stone, slate roof. Monumental Augustan classicism tinged with Italiante. Front 7 bays wide. Imposing, pedimented, giant Corinthian hexastyle portico raised on tall rusticated podium now with foyer doors but originally a porte cochere. The flanking bays are framed by coupled giant pilasters and contain on portico level niches with statues of Melpomene and Thalia by Rossi whilst behind the portico is a long and partially altered bas relief frieze by Flaxman salvaged from Smirke's theatre of 1808-9. Prominent crowning cornice and panelled parapet surmounted by urn finials. The balcony level of portico has had a later C.19 crush bar conservatory inserted. Return elevations articulated by plain giant pilasters above podium. Very fine interior and auditorium with few alterations to Barry's scheme, horse-shoe tiers beneath saucer dome on elliptical arches and pendentives, enriched proscenium, the sounding board with relief ornament; rich plasterwork etc. Stage retains most extensive installation of Asphaleria machinery in London: 1899-1902 by Edwin O. Sachs. Present building the successor of Theatres Royal and Operas since 1731, still under Royal patent. Stuccoed extension in same style to west with fly tower, 1980. Survey of London; Vol. XXXV.
