Opera house in Brighton

“We were walking past this building and at first i thought it was an old casino because of the gaming machines. But when we wandered in, we were surprised and in awe at how beautifully restored this old opera house is. Take a closer look around, especially the upper level booths. It is very pretty. Better yet the drinks are cheap!!!!! Lots of older folks here drinking so you know this is the place to get a cold one. They had an enormous menu of EVERYTHING. Apologies I forgot to get pics of the menu but it was impressive. We only had a couple drinks here and we were enjoying the people watching. According to signage you can book reservations for dinner for two people max in one of the opera booths. Awesome.”

“World famous opera house ona. Private estate. Prides it's sellf on its picnic intervals. Producing some of Europe's greatest opera productions”

“Nativity was another outstanding performance from Trinity and their Youth Theatre. Professional with such a talented cast, both young and old(er). The youth theatre performances are always full of joy, talent and energy, but this was another level again. I don’t know how they do it!”

“I really enjoyed my experience there! I love the historic building. The people who work three are friendly and polite. The seats are comfy. I've been meaning to visit for long time, and finally I did. And I'll certainly come back for more films to watch”

“Wonderful, charming and intimate venue. Approx 300 seats mostly raked where everyone has a great view of the stage and the performers. On this occasion it was an evening with John Illsley, formerly of Dire Straits. Wonderful stories as well as a live band performing songs from every Dire Straits album.”

“Went here to watch one of the film that was on during the week (Urchin) and had a wonderful experience. Very smooth process from booking online, arriving and interacting with very friendly staff. Then the actual theatre. Absolutely comfortable 10/10. Very clean environment; comfortable seating; and the sound system was perfect. Literally had a better movie experience here than I did at a much larger operated cinema 2 days prior.”

“Really loved this beautiful theatre. The performance was truly amazing. Congratulations to all the performers of Handel Acis & Galatea, especially Robert Slater. Staff friendly and helpful.”

“Best panto around !! My favourite theatre! Every seat has a great view, the sound is awesome. I've been to a few different shows now and have loved every one!”

“I like the Capitol. I find the atrium area attractive and welcoming, the seating in the theatre is comfortable and you can get some good value cinema tickets here. The bar area can get full if there's a full house in the theatre and sometimes the queues for the bar are too long. A nice alternative is to go upstairs to am additional seating area and balcony - there's an extra toilet up there too. Unfortunately no bar upstairs though. Overall, I always have a good experience here.”

“The pantomime was brilliant. It was our first ever visit to a panto at White Rock and we weren't sure what to expect. However it had excellent scenery, script, costumes, dance routines and of course the lead characters. Couldn't fault it. We will definitely be going next year!”

“Just a great centre with so many opportunities for the local community to come together and attend classes or access resources that are just not available anywhere else. The cafe prices look very good too!”

“Had lunch here with some friends. Large popular pub and not ruined by a makeover. The food was very good and reasonably priced. They have special offers depending on the day of the week. The Harvey's beer was in good condition. It was a Tuesday and fairly quiet. I understand it gets busy in the evenings and at weekends. There is a large outdoor seating area if you like that sort of thing. Will definitely go back when next in Lewes.”

“We were lucky enough to eat as guests in the Over Wallop restaurant at Glyndebourne last week, during a performance of the Magic Flute (sublime singing and music!), and thought the food the best we have ever had there. We had the Sussex asparagus starter, followed by the Cumbrian lamb (cooked to perfection and the depth of flavour in the jus was simply superb), with the coffee mousse to finish. All the dishes were absolutely delicious and we could not find a single fault. Well done to Steve Groves and his brilliant team. As always the service was immaculate and it is a wonder to behold how so many meals are delivered (like clockwork) mid-performance in such a short window. Thank you so much to all concerned for helping to make such a special evening.”
