Dear Friends
I am delighted to tell you that the Tyne Theatre & Opera House has been granted Development Funding by the Heritage Fund and work will start on preparing RIBA Stage 3 proposals in October this year. This comes as you know after a long and significant journey by the Trust who are as you will imagine extremely excited by the news (see press release below).
Theatresearch prepared the bid on behalf of the Trust and has been involved in the development of the Masterplan since 2019 – we are truly delighted by the news which rewards the hard work that has been put in by the Trust. The proposals include the full restoration of the auditorium, the completion of the historic stage machinery restoration and the creation of a second performance space directly connected to the main stage – these are truly exciting times!
Very Best Wishes
David
