Located across from the Kensington Gardens in London, the Royal Albert Hall was opened in 1871 and dedicated to Queen Victoria’s late husband, Prince Albert.
The building, which is a spectacle in itself, hosts over a million people each year eager to attend the wide variety of performances held on its stage. The Hall has hosted national and international artists from all entertainment genres including music concerts, ballet, opera, sports, award ceremonies, and even school events. The concert hall is known for incredible acoustics achieved by fiberglass discs or “mushrooms” that lay below the building’s dome.
The 5,200-seat venue is truly iconic in every sense of the word. Performers at Albert Hall have included everyone from Led Zeppelin and the Killers to the Royal Philharmonic and Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Phantom of the Opera.
An annual event at the Royal Albert Hall is BBC’s Promenade classical music concert series, also known as the Proms. Other regular appearances at the Hall include performances by Cirque du Soleil, Eric Clapton, and the English National Ballet.
The Royal Albert Hall also appeared in Alfred Hitchcock’s famous film The Man Who Knew Too Much.
