Leicester Oral History Trail 11: Opera House
The city's Opera House opened in 1877 and closed in 1960. It was demolished the same year.
You can read all about Leicester opera house on the Arthur Lloyd music hall and theatre history website.
What you will find there calls into question the prejudice that provincial cities were cultural deserts for much of the 20th century.
