As you can see, we're in a cultural hub. Here you have the legendary Empire Theatre, which has seen some of the biggest names in music grace its stage. It is the second to be built on this site, replacing the first opera house, which opened in 1866 and was Liverpool's biggest stage at the time. This stylish new building opened in 1925 and is one of the largest auditoriums in England. The Beatles performed here at the start of their career and many other artists have followed, offering audiences over a hundred years of varied, high-quality musical culture. If you want to explore it, you have two options. You can treat yourself to a show, chill in those comfy red seats, soak in the epic decor and vibe under those high ceilings. From ballet to musicals to one-man shows, there's something for everyone. Alternatively, you can opt for a daytime visit and enjoy a drink in the theatre's atmospheric bar.
