Grand Opera House

The city’s touring house for musicals, comedy and bands, in an Edwardian theatre by the river.

The Grand Opera House takes the touring musicals, stand-up tours and tribute shows, in an ornate 1902 auditorium a minute from King's Staith. It is indoors, central and often has last-minute seats. Combine with dinner on Fossgate or a drink on the river.
