The Lyric Cinema was empty and desolate during the period 1980-86 when it was suggested that it should be redeveloped. Incredibly a refurbishment then took place which made the building the (then) fourth largest theatre in Wales
This historic building has recently been brought up-to-date with a major £1.5 million refurbishment including a new fly tower with 21 single purchase and 11 double purchase counterweight sets, an orchestra pit for 64 players with hydraulic lift and a backstage extension for wardrobe and dressing rooms. Within the auditorium the existing circle was considered to be too high so a smaller dress circle, with 80 seats, was built in front of the film projection box, the old circle becoming the upper circle.
Now able to accomodate breath-taking ballet and full-scale stage productions, The Lyric can now also be converted into an intimate cabaret venue with candle-lit tables to bring you exciting events via Cabaret Coch Cymru and alternative comedy such as Kill for a Seat Comedy.
