Empire Theatre

In October 1866 a new theatre, named The Prince of Wales Theatre and Opera House opened in Liverpool, on Lime Street. About three quarters the size of the theatre that stands today, it was lit by gaslight and all the stage machinery was controlled by steam power. The Liverpool Empire Theatre forms part of Liverpool's Cultural Quarter, part of recently acquired World Heritage status and is set to play an important role in 2008 when Liverpool will be European Capital of Culture.

The Empire has three bars, and rooms available for corporate hospitality and events. Interval drinks can be pre-ordered at any bar. Tea and Coffee facilities are also available.
