Excuse me, but Blackpool already has an opera house in the Grand Theatre, supplied by the incomparable Frank Matcham, lovingly cared for and much used, for all sorts of theatre including the few opera companies who can afford to travel. There is also the Opera House, part of the Winter Garden complex, a vaste barn of a place, rebuilt after a fire in 1938/9 and still seating about 2000. This is the home of the large comercial shows that can only break even with that high number of ticket sales. Please leave the Odeon in the caring hands of the club: the only reason I didn’t go in with my husband and another married couple was that we simply weren’t dressed smartly enough !
