Royal Albert Hall
Sections:
Theatre Build Date: 1871
The vision for the Hall was that of Prince Albert, consort to Queen Victoria. He had the vision of a 'Central Hall' that would be used to promote understanding and appreciation of the Arts and Sciences and would stand at the heart of the South Kensington estate, surrounded by museums and places of learning. Sadly Albert did not live to see its grand opening in 1871. The hall was intended to be the finest in Europe for seeing, hearing and convenience and this is still its aim today.
Today the hall continues, as it did in 1871, to host regular concerts, exhibitions public meetings, scientific conversations, award ceremonies and of course the world famous BBC Proms.
