His Majesty's Theatre, Grade II listed theatre in Haymarket, London
His Majesty's Theatre features a grand auditorium with 1,216 seats and stands as a central performance venue in London's West End district.
The first theatre on this site opened in 1705 as Queen's Theatre, hosting over 25 opera premieres by George Frideric Handel between 1711 and 1739.
The theatre has maintained its status as the home of The Phantom of the Opera since 1986, making it a cornerstone of London's musical theatre scene.
The theatre changes its name according to the gender of the British monarch, most recently becoming His Majesty's Theatre following King Charles III's accession.
