theatresearch is the UK’s leading historic theatre consultancy, specialising in theatre conservation and restoration whilst making the buildings fit for purpose in the 21st century.
Formed on Christmas Day 1985 when the Tyne Theatre and Opera House suffered a major fire which severely damaged the fly tower and the theatre’s historic stage machinery – almost 40 years later we are now involved in historic theatre restoration projects throughout the British Isles.
We have the ability to develop in collaboration with clients key funding strategies for projects, having written successful National Lottery Heritage Fund (NLHF) bids worth well over £20million. In conjunction with this we are able to develop cohesive Conservation Plans, and write technical equipment specifications.
Our extensive theatre archives support the practice and are provided as “open access” to all our clients – we also develop Interpretation and Exhibition strategies which support the outputs required by the NLHF.

THEATRICAL SCENE PAINTING IN THE 19TH CENTURY: THE ARTIST AND THE PICTURE FRAME
FRIDAY 2 AUGUST 2024
Following the great success of last year’s “Victorian and Edwardian Theatre in Performance” conference, Tyne Theatre & Opera House is proud to announce a one day conference about nineteenth century theatrical scene painting.
The event will take place in our Grade I listed theatre in Newcastle and there will be an opportunity to see the progress that has been made on both the restoration of the stage machinery and Phase I of the Grand Saloon restoration. Prior to the conference we will be hosting a separate three-day practical nineteenth century scene painting course led by scenic painter and historian Wendy Waszut-Barrett.
Cost: £100.00 including light lunch
Speakers and a full timetable will be released on the website in due course
