Tyne Theatre and Opera House

Tyne Theatre and Opera House is a Grade I listed Victorian theatre in Newcastle-upon-Tyne. Opening in 1867, originally for plays and opera, today the theatre continues to entertain the local community with comedies, drama, musicals, opera, talks and live music.

For theatregoers looking to explore the city before or after a show, Newcastle's Quayside has a plethora of cafes, bars and restaurants and attractions including the Gateshead Millennium Bridge and historic Grainger Market, a Grade I listed building that opened to the public in 1835. Today, the market sells everything from groceries and produce to vintage clothing. Close to the theatre on Stowell Street is Newcastle's Chinatown, home to a range of authentic Chinese restaurants and supermarkets, complete with distinctive colourful paifang at the northern end.

Many more notable landmarks are within easy walking distance of the theatre, such as Newcastle Castle, Newcastle Castle Keep, Newcastle Cathedral, Newcastle Swing Bridge, King Edward VII Bridge and Queen Elizabeth II Bridge. For football enthusiasts, St James' Park, the home of Newcastle United FC, is also a short walk away.

Getting around Newcastle-upon-Tyne is easy; the city centre is compact and can be explored on foot. For those who prefer public transport, Newcastle has an extensive local bus network and the Tyne and Wear Metro, a light rail rapid transport system, offers a traffic-free alternative, connecting the city to the surrounding Tyne and Wear region.
