The "A Theatre for Everybody" experience is a journey through two of London's most iconic cultural institutions: the Old Vic and Sadlers Wells. This captivating story reveals how these venues have shaped the art of theater, pushing boundaries and inspiring generations of artists.
At the Old Vic, Sir Henry Irving and Ellen Terry, among others, laid the foundation for Shakespearean theater in the late 19th century. Today, the theater continues to champion new talent and experimental productions. Wander through the hallowed halls where giants of the stage took their first steps, then explore the vibrant cultural scene in the neighborhood.
Across the river, Sadlers Wells has been a breeding ground for ballet since 1891, when Russian ballerina Mathilde Kschessinska introduced the technique to the capital. Renowned choreographers like Frederick Ashton and George Balanchine honed their craft here, leaving a lasting legacy in the form of timeless ballets like "The Nutcracker" and "Swan Lake." Admire the stunning former theater building, now home to numerous events and performances, and step inside the original Wig and Pen music store, where composers have sparked new life into classic tunes.
