Transformation is the name of the project to restore the Leeds Grand Theatre and to provide a permanent home for Opera North. Now I’m not too bothered about Opera but I love theatres. I went round the building in January 2007 and took this shot of the gloomy rehearsal room formerly known as the Assembly Room and the Plaza Cinema for many, many years.
Now, the room has been totally transformed. The 1923 interior has gone, revealing the original ceiling. The balcony has gone and the stage has swapped ends. The windows have all been uncovered and a small wrap-around balcony has been inserted.
A lost boy,aaaaah,were they auditioning for Peter Pan?
People called David never get lost, on account of their loveliness!
