Everything about The Belgrade Theatre totally explained
The
Belgrade Theatre is a
live performance venue seating 866 and situated in
Coventry,
England. It was the first
civic theatre to be built after the
second world war in
Britain and as such was more than a place of entertainment. It joined the new
Coventry Cathedral as a symbol of
optimism and
culture in one of the largest re-development projects then undertaken, to rebuild the city of Coventry, which had been almost totally destroyed by bombing. The building is now a grade II
listed building.
The Belgrade acquired its name in recognition and thanks for a gift of timber from the
Serbian city of
Belgrade that was used extensively in the construction of the auditorium. Since opening in
1958, the theatre has established itself as a centre for the new and innovative production.
The theatre reopened in September 2007 after undergoing a £12m refurbishment with a 7-story extension to provide a second auditorium.
Prince Edward officially opened the refurbishment of the Belgrade's B2 studio on
5 February 2008, this also marked the 50th anniversary of the Belgrade's opening performed by
Princess Alexandra.
