It opened on 18 September 1899 with a performance of As You Like It. One of the finest surviving examples of the work of theatre architect Frank Matcham, the building, in red brick with buff terracotta, is listed Grade II* by Historic England.[1] John Earl, writing in 1982, described it as "[o]f outstanding importance as the most completely preserved Matcham theatre in Greater London and one of his most satisfying interiors."[2] HistoryThe theatre, originally known as the Theatre Royal and Opera House,[3] is structured into the familiar stalls, dress and upper circles, with four boxes at dress level. The auditorium is a mixture of gilt detailing and red plush fabrics, covering seats and front of circles. Its interior and exterior has been used as a movie set in many films (e.g. Evita, Topsy-Turvy, standing in for the Victorian Savoy Theatre, Finding Neverland – doubling as the Duke of York's Theatre, Book of Secrets – setting of Ford's Theatre) and TV programmes (e.g. Jonathan Creek). In the early 1990s the theatre underwent a major overhaul overseen by the designer Carl Toms. This included a side extension giving more space for the audience and included a 'Matcham Room'. The driving force behind the renovation of the theatre was Sally Greene, with strong support from Richmond upon Thames Council through its Chief Executive, Richard Harbord and Community Services Committee chairman Serge Lourie. The theatre is now part of the Ambassador Theatre Group and has a weekly schedule of plays and musicals, usually given by professional touring companies. Pre-West End shows can sometimes be seen. There is a Christmas and New Year pantomime tradition and many of Britain's greatest music hall and pantomime performers have appeared there. In 2016, the theatre was honoured with the People's Choice Award at The Richmond Business Awards.[4] References1. ^{{National Heritage List for England |num=1065384|desc=Richmond Theatre|accessdate=23 January 2016}} 2. ^John Earl, contributor to Curtains!!! or a New Life for Old Theatres, John Offord Publications Ltd (London 1982) {{ISBN|0903931427}} 3. ^{{Cite web|url=http://www.atgtickets.com/venues/richmond-theatre/history/|title=Richmond Theatre – History of Richmond Theatre Richmond, London – ATG Tickets|website=www.atgtickets.com|language=en|access-date=2017-05-23}} 4. ^{{Cite news|url=https://www.richmondchamberofcommerce.co.uk/richmond-business-awards-2016/|title=Richmond Business Awards 2016 – Richmond Upon Thames Chamber Of Commerce|work=Richmond Upon Thames Chamber Of Commerce|access-date=23 May 2017|language=en-GB}} Sources
