With 2358 seats this is the largest theatre in London, built in 1904, home of the ENO since 1968. All operas sung in English. All performances in rep so check dates carefully. Currently looking at the possibility of either refurbishing the Coliseum or moving to a new, purpose built, home. Keep an eye on the Green Room for more news.
