The Lyric Hammersmith Theatre is one of London‘s leading producing theatres. After two years of discussions, a theatre opened in 1888 on Bradmore Grove. In 1895, the Lyric opened as the New Lyric Opera House with a performance of *Dora*, a one-act play. During World War One, audience numbers declined, so to encourage new visitors, the Lyric became a house for touring companies.

In 1949, a production of *The Seagull* transferred to the West End. That same year, John Gielgud (of [Gielgud Theatre](https://www.londontheatre.co.uk/theatres/gielgud-theatre) fame) directed Richard Burton at this venue. 

The Lyric was set to be demolished in 1969, but after a local campaign, the Queen reopened the venue a decade later. In 2018, the Main House was refurbished for the first time in 40 years. Rachel O'Riordan joined as artistic director in February 2019.
