Fri 11 Nov 2009Waterford theatre reopens
FOLLOWING A €2.9 million revamp, Waterford’s Theatre Royal reopened officially last night with a performance of Bernard Farrell’s Wallace, Balfe and Mr Bunn.
Over the past 15 months, the Georgian building, built in 1784 to a design by architect John Roberts, underwent its first major restoration since Victorian times and has been restored in the Victorian style. The project was funded by Waterford City Council, which shares the building with the theatre, and the Department of Arts.
