Londons Palace Theatre, erbaut 1891

Unter dem West End versteht man eine Gruppe professioneller Theater im und um das gleichnamige Stadtviertel der britischen Hauptstadt London.

West End – Theatreland – Londoner Broadway[Bearbeiten | Quelltext bearbeiten]

Queens Theatre, London
Evening Theatre, London

Die hohe Theaterdichte inmitten des Viertels verlieh ihm den Beinamen Theatreland in Analogie zum New Yorker Broadway, meist ist aber einfach vom West End die Rede, wenn der Theaterbezirk gemeint ist. Der Begriff Theatreland bezieht sich inzwischen meist auf die kommerziellen Theater, die den größten Teil der Londoner Theaterszene ausmachen. Da mit Abstand die meisten kommerziellen Londoner Theater auf den Straßen Drury Lane, Shaftesbury Avenue und Strand im Zentrum des Stadtviertels angesiedelt sind, bilden diese drei Straßen das eigentliche Theatreland. Wie sich der New Yorker Theaterbezirk Broadway bei weitem nicht nur auf die tatsächliche Straße Broadway beschränkt, so umfasst auch der Begriff West End Theatre im internationalen Sprachgebrauch meist die breite Londoner Theaterszene. Mitunter werden in Analogie zur ursprünglichen Bedeutung von Off-Broadway und Off-Off-Broadway für kleinere und weiter außerhalb liegende Theater wie auch für Amateurensembles die Begriffe Off-West-End und noch seltener Off-Off-West-End verwendet, dies hat sich aber bislang nicht durchgesetzt. Gebräuchlicher ist die Bezeichnung fringe theatres (etwa Alternativtheater). Neben den kommerziellen Theatern gibt es in London noch eine Reihe staatlich geförderter Theater renommierter Ensembles, die gelegentlich zu den West-End-Theatern gezählt werden. Dazu gehören beispielsweise das Royal National Theatre, das Royal Court Theatre und bis 2002 das Barbican Theatre der Royal Shakespeare Company, die seit ihrem Auszug an wechselnden Spielorten in der Stadt zu sehen ist, ihren Hauptsitz aber weiterhin am Royal Shakespeare Theatre in Shakespeares Geburtsstadt Stratford upon Avon hat und insofern nur am Rande bzw. gelegentlich zur Londoner Theaterszene gehört. Ein weiteres Londoner Theater, das nur bedingt zum West End gehört, ist das Globe Theatre. Der originalgetreue Nachbau des Shakespeare-Theaters in der Innenstadt wird vollständig durch eine eigene Stiftung finanziert und ist weder von staatlicher Subventionierung noch von kommerziellen Einnahmen abhängig. Da es sich bei diesen vier Theatern aber um Ensembletheater handelt (eine festangestellte Gruppe von Theaterschaffenden inszeniert laufend neue Stücke), fallen sie nur bedingt in die Kategorie der West-End-Theater. Ihre Inszenierungen können, sofern in London dargeboten, durchaus als West-End-Stücke bezeichnet werden. Ihre hauseigenen Theatergebäude werden dagegen normalerweise nicht zu den West-End-Theatern gezählt, da mit diesen normalerweise Theatergebäude gemeint sind, die nur zeitweise für ein bestimmtes Stück an die entsprechende Gruppe von Theaterschaffenden vermietet wird. So zählt beispielsweise die Royal Shakespeare Company oder das Royal National Theatre nicht per se zum West End, treten sie aber beispielsweise im Lyceum Theatre (Strand, Theatreland, West End) auf, würde die Inszenierung als West End Show bezeichnet. Neben dem Broadway gilt das West End als wichtigste Theatermetropole der englischsprachigen Welt. Ein West-End-Stück anzusehen gehört für Millionen Besucher Londons jährlich zu den beliebtesten Touristenattraktionen. Zu den West-End-Theatern zählen neben dem Lyceum beispielsweise Her Majesty’s Theatre und Theatre Royal Haymarket am Haymarket, das Adelphi Theatre am Strand, das Royal Opera House in Covent Garden und das Prince Edward Theatre an der Old Compton Street (nahe Leicester Square). Der Kern des West End, die traditionell und geografisch zum Theatreland gehörigen Theater, umfasst insgesamt 38 große Theatergebäude. Darüber hinaus

Wie am Broadway bietet ein „großes“ Theater Platz für 500 oder mehr Zuschauer, die meisten Broadwaytheater haben weit über tausend Plätze. Theater im „Theatre District“ von Manhattan und in der übrigen City mit weniger als 500 Sitzplätzen werden heute als Off-Broadway- bzw. Off-Off-Broadway-Theater bezeichnet. Broadway-Theater haben üblicherweise kein Repertoiresystem, sondern zeigen jeweils nur ein Musical oder ein Theaterstück, und dieses täglich, auch mehrmals. Die Spieldauer dieser Stücke ist in der Regel nicht festgelegt (Ausnahme: sogenannte „strictly limited runs“), sondern richtet sich nach der Beurteilung durch Kritik und Publikum.[1] Aufgrund der großzügigen Beleuchtung der Straße und des Platzes wird der Broadway auch „The Great White Way“ genannt.

EN[Bearbeiten | Quelltext bearbeiten]

West End theatre is a common term for mainstream professional theatre staged in the large theatres of "Theatreland" in and near the West End of London.[2] Along with New York City's Broadway theatre, West End theatre is usually considered to represent the highest level of commercial theatre in the English-speaking world. Seeing a West End show is a common tourist activity in London.[2]

Society of London Theatre (SOLT) has announced that 2017 was a record year for the capital’s theatre industry with attendances topping 15,000,000 for the first time since the organization began collecting audience data in 1986. Box office revenues also exceeded £700,000,000.[3] Famous screen actors, British and international alike, frequently appear on the London stage.[4]

History[Bearbeiten | Quelltext bearbeiten]

Vorlage:Further Theatre in London flourished after the English Reformation. The first permanent public playhouse, known simply as The Theatre, was constructed in 1576 in Shoreditch by James Burbage. It was soon joined by The Curtain. Both are known to have been used by William Shakespeare's company. In 1599, the timber from The Theatre was moved to Southwark, where it was used in building the Globe Theatre in a new theatre district formed beyond the controls of the City corporation. These theatres were closed in 1642 due to the Puritans who would later influence the interregnum of 1649. Vorlage:Further After the Restoration (1660), two companies were licensed to perform, the Duke's Company and the King's Company. Performances were held in converted buildings, such as Lisle's Tennis Court. The first West End theatre, known as Theatre Royal in Bridges Street, was designed by Thomas Killigrew and built on the site of the present Theatre Royal, Drury Lane. It opened on 7 May 1663 and was destroyed by a fire nine years later. It was replaced by a new structure designed by Christopher Wren and renamed the Theatre Royal, Drury Lane.[5][6]

Outside the West End, Sadler's Wells Theatre opened in Islington on 3 June 1683. Taking its name from founder Richard Sadler and monastic springs that were discovered on the property,[7][8] it operated as a "Musick House", with performances of opera; as it was not licensed for plays. In the West End, the Theatre Royal Haymarket opened on 29 December 1720 on a site slightly north of its current location, and the Royal Opera House opened in Covent Garden on 7 December 1732.

The Patent theatre companies retained their duopoly on drama well into the 19th century, and all other theatres could perform only musical entertainments. By the early 19th century, however, music hall entertainments became popular, and presenters found a loophole in the restrictions on non-patent theatres in the genre of melodrama. Melodrama did not break the Patent Acts, as it was accompanied by music. Initially, these entertainments were presented in large halls, attached to public houses, but purpose-built theatres began to appear in the East End at Shoreditch and Whitechapel.

The West End theatre district became established with the opening of many small theatres and halls, including the Adelphi in The Strand on 17 November 1806. South of the River Thames, the Old Vic, Waterloo Road, opened on 11 May 1818. The expansion of the West End theatre district gained pace with the Theatres Act 1843, which relaxed the conditions for the performance of plays, and The Strand gained another venue when the Vaudeville opened on 16 April 1870. The next few decades saw the opening of many new theatres in the West End. The Criterion Theatre opened on Piccadilly Circus on 21 March 1874, and in 1881, two more houses appeared: the Savoy Theatre in The Strand, built by Richard D'Oyly Carte specifically to showcase the comic operas of Gilbert and Sullivan, opened on 10 October (the first theatre to be lit by cooler, cleaner electric lights), and five days later the Comedy Theatre opened as the Royal Comedy Theatre on Panton Street in Leicester Square. It abbreviated its name three years later.[6] The theatre building boom continued until about World War I.

During the 1950s and 1960s, many plays were produced in theatre clubs, to evade the censorship then exercised by the Lord Chamberlain's Office. The Theatres Act 1968 finally abolished censorship of the stage in the United Kingdom.

Theatreland[Bearbeiten | Quelltext bearbeiten]

The Lyceum Theatre, home to Disney's The Lion King.[9]

"Theatreland", London's main theatre district, contains approximately forty venues and is located in and near the heart of the West End of London. It is traditionally defined by The Strand to the south, Oxford Street to the north, Regent Street to the west, and Kingsway to the east, but a few other nearby theatres are also considered "West End" despite being outside the area proper (e.g. The Apollo Victoria Theatre, in Westminster). Prominent theatre streets include Drury Lane, Shaftesbury Avenue, and The Strand. The works staged are predominantly musicals, classic and modern straight plays, and comedy performances.[10]

Many theatres in the West End are of late Victorian or Edwardian construction and are privately owned. Many are architecturally impressive, and the largest and best maintained feature grand neo-classical, Romanesque, or Victorian façades and luxurious, detailed interior design and decoration.

However, owing to their age, leg room is often cramped, and audience facilities such as bars and toilets are often much smaller than in modern theatres. The protected status of the buildings and their confined urban locations, combined with financial constraints, make it very difficult to make substantial improvements to the level of comfort offered. In 2003, the Theatres Trust estimated that an investment of £250 million over the following 15 years was required for modernisation,[11] and stated that 60% of theatres had seats from which the stage was not fully visible.[12] The theatre owners unsuccessfully requested tax concessions to help them meet the costs.

From 2004 onwards there were several incidents of falling plasterwork or performances being cancelled because of urgent building repairs being required. These events culminated in the partial collapse of the ceiling of the Apollo Theatre in December 2013.[13] Of these earlier incidents, only one led to people being hurt,[14] but at the Apollo Theatre 76 people needed medical treatment for their injuries.[15]

In 2012, gross sales of £529,787,692 were up 0.27% and attendances also increased 0.56% to 13,992,773-year-on-year[16] In 2013, sales again rose this time by 11% to £585,506,455,[17] with attendances rising to 14,587,276.[18] This was despite slightly fewer performances occurring in 2013.[19]

Long-running shows[Bearbeiten | Quelltext bearbeiten]

The St Martin's Theatre, home to The Mousetrap, the longest-running play in the world.

The length of West End shows depend on ticket sales. The longest-running musical in West End history is Les Misérables. It overtook Andrew Lloyd Webber's Cats, which closed in 2002 after running for 8,949 performances and 21 years, as the longest-running West End musical of all time on 8 October 2006. Other long-runners include Lloyd Webber's The Phantom of the Opera and Willy Russell's Blood Brothers which have also subsequently overtaken Cats. However the non-musical Agatha Christie play The Mousetrap is the longest-running production in the world, and has been performed continuously since 1952.

Upcoming productions[Bearbeiten | Quelltext bearbeiten]

The following have been announced as future West End productions. The theatre in which they will run is either not yet known or currently occupied by another show.

Musicals[Bearbeiten | Quelltext bearbeiten]

Plays[Bearbeiten | Quelltext bearbeiten]

London's non-commercial theatres[Bearbeiten | Quelltext bearbeiten]

The exterior of the Old Vic

The term "West End theatre" is generally used to refer specifically to commercial productions in Theatreland. However, the leading non-commercial theatres in London enjoy great artistic prestige. These include the Royal National Theatre, the Barbican Centre, Shakespeare's Globe, the Old Vic, and the Regent's Park Open Air Theatre. These theatres stage a high proportion of straight drama, Shakespeare, other classic plays and premieres of new plays by leading playwrights. Successful productions from the non-commercial theatres sometimes transfer to one of the commercial West End houses for an extended run.

The Royal Opera House is widely regarded as one of the greatest opera houses in the world, comparable with the Palais Garnier, La Scala and the Metropolitan Opera House. Commonly known simply as Covent Garden due to its location, it is home to the Royal Opera, Royal Ballet and a resident symphony orchestra, and hosts guest performances from other leading opera, ballet and performance companies from around the world.

Likewise, the London Coliseum is the resident home to the English National Opera. The theatre is also the London base for performances by the English National Ballet, who perform regular seasons throughout the year when not on tour.

The Peacock Theatre is located on the edge of the Theatreland area. Now owned by the London School of Economics and Political Science, it is used in the evenings for dance performances by Sadler's Wells, who manage the theatre on behalf of the school.

Other London theatres[Bearbeiten | Quelltext bearbeiten]

There are a great number of theatre productions in London outside the West End. Much of this is known as fringe theatre which is the equivalent of Off-Broadway and Off-Off-Broadway theatre in New York. Among these are the Bush Theatre and the Donmar Warehouse. Fringe venues range from well-equipped small theatres to rooms above pubs, and the performances range from classic plays, to cabaret, to plays in the languages of London's ethnic minorities. The performers range from emerging young professionals to amateurs.

There are many theatres located throughout Greater London, such as the Lyric Hammersmith, Theatre Royal Stratford East, Rose Theatre, Kingston, New Wimbledon Theatre, the Rudolf Steiner Theatre in Westminster, the Ashcroft Theatre in Croydon, Secombe Theatre in Sutton and the Churchill Theatre in Bromley.

Preisverleihungen[Bearbeiten | Quelltext bearbeiten]

There are a number of annual awards for outstanding achievements in London theatre:
