A Stage for Success

The New Facilities

A bold design has been developed to transform the College’s existing site and deliver:

  • A 450 capacity world-class Concert Hall for rehearsals, public recitals and master-classes.
  • A 160 seat state-of-the-art Theatre with a dress circle and teaching gallery.
  • An Exhibition Arcade to display our award-winning theatre and costume designs.
  • Four new full-sized, double height Acting and Movement Studios with the same 'footprint' as the Theatre.
  • A new ‘Front Door’ to the College opening onto a central Foyer and performance spaces.
  • A new Café Bar and Terrace overlooking historic Bute Park.
  • A renovated and upgraded Bute Theatre (capacity 150-200) doubling as a television studio.

This landmark development will mark a new gateway to Cardiff City from the north. It will provide first-class facilities for the College, attracting new audiences to both our students’ performances and the regular masterclasses given by international artists, as well as increasing opportunities for local performing arts organisations to promote their work.
