Would the Theatre Royal be more suitable for the ROH? It certainly seems like an odd choice for the highly successful small-scale, intimate Library Theatre move - much as I welcome Manchester's oldest surviving theatre being brought back into theatrical use. Use the extensive BBC site on Oxford Road for a new purpose-built opera house, including a significant upgrade of the Dancehouse venue, incorporating the ballet school into a northern ROH ballet school. I certainly have no desire to see something that damages the Lowry, or northern companies such as Opera North, BRB, Northern Ballet Theatre etc etc.; that discourages touring companies of all sizes from visiting Manchester/Salford; that leaves large-scale touring musicals without a viable city centre home (no matter how little I personally choose to go and see them); that wastes a monumental amount of public money that doesn't result in a better and better-attended offering of opera, dance, ballet, physical performance and musical theatre of all styles in Manchester. Exciting times, but we we can't afford to get it wrong either financially or creatively. I completely agree with Malcolm and have the following suggestions to offer.
