Grand Theatre, Swansea, Theatre in Swansea, Wales.
The Grand Theatre features an Edwardian architectural design with a main auditorium containing 1,000 seats arranged across multiple levels of seating.
Architect William Hope designed this entertainment venue which opened in 1897, with opera singer Adelina Patti performing at the inauguration ceremony.
The theatre presents a mix of performances including plays, musicals, ballet productions, and touring shows throughout the annual calendar.
