Description
An account of the resource
<p>The Festival Theatre sits on Edinburgh’s longest continuous theatre site. The 19 Nicolson Street locale has been a theatre site since 1830. It has seen three major remodellings during its rich and varied history, with the current glass-fronted building opening in June 1994. It opens onto a fully restored auditorium, blending a dramatic mix of art nouveau, beaux arts and neo-classicism.</p><p><strong> ACTIVITIES</strong></p><p>Advance booking essential via <span><a href="https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/d/united-kingdom--edinburgh/free--events/festival-theatre/?lc=1&page=1&q=Festival+theatre">https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/d/united-kingdom--edinburgh/free--events/festival-theatre/?lc=1&page=1&q=Festival+theatre</a></span></p><p>Hour-long building tours will highlight the history and heritage of our building and showcase the theatre’s connections with a host of global entertainers. 10:30, 12:30 and 14:30.</p><p>Intergenerational dance workshops where visitors can learn dances from across the globe – the vibrant Brazilian Samba, the timeless English Waltz through to jumpin’ jive from America and the dance of the Spanish matador, the Paso Doble. 11:30-12:00 and 13:30-14:00.</p><p>Musical storytelling workshops where participants will engage with storytelling and song in multiple languages.
