The Tyne Theatre and Opera House is a theatre in Newcastle upon Tyne, England. It is a Grade I listed building.[1]
It opened in 1867 as the Tyne Theatre and Opera House, designed by the Newcastle upon Tyne architecture practice of William Parnell.[2]
In 1919 it became a cinema, the Stoll Picture House, the name which can still be seen on the building front and side. The cinema closed in March 1974 and the building was closed for 3 years, reopening as a theatre in July 1977.[3] It was seriously damaged by fire in 1985, with subsequent rebuilding restoring the Victorian stage machinery.[4][1]
From 2002 to 2014 it was called the Mill Volvo Tyne Theatre, operated by SMG Europe, and sponsored by Volvo.[5] It was sponsored by The Journal newspaper during the 2000s, until January 2012.
