About The Theatre<\/a>Seating Plan<\/a><\/p>\n

Her Majesty\u2019s Theatre London was established in 1705 as Queen\u2019s Theatre by architect and playwright John Vanbrugh. This theatre premiered more than 25 operas by George Frideric Handel, and also became the site where London performances of Mozart\u2019s La clemenza di Tito, Cos\u00ec fan tutte and Don Giovanni unfolded for the first time in early 19th century.<\/p>\n

An interesting feature of the theatre is that its name changes with the monarch\u2019s gender. In 1714, it became the King\u2019s theatre with the accession of George I, and then Her Majesty\u2019s Theatre in 1837, back to His Majesty\u2019s Theatre in 1901 until 1952, when it became Her Majesty\u2019s Theatre after the accession of Queen Elizabeth II.<\/p>\n

In its present form, the theatre has 1216 seats and hosted some landmark productions in the early 20th century. During the First World War, the theatre\u2019s wide stage made it a favourite for staging large scale musical productions. It has seen record breaking runs of musicals like Chu Chin Chow, and the current production, The Phantom of the Opera<\/a> by Andrew Lloyd Webber, which has been playing at Her Majesty\u2019s Theatre since 1986.<\/p>\n
