The London Coliseum, designed by Oswald Stoll and Frank Matcham, was envisioned as the "people's palace of entertainment". Opening on Christmas Eve in 1904, the Coliseum has been home to countless events including musicals, operas, ballets, plays, and variety shows for over a century. It has been the home of English National Opera and English National Ballet since 1968.
