Cardiff - New Theatre


Cardiff is the capital and, with around 370,000 inhabitants, the most populous city in Wales.
In 1081, William the Conqueror had a castle built on the remains of a Roman fort. The first mention of Cardiff dates back to 1093, when the knight Robert Fitzhamon, a follower of William, was entrusted with a fief here. Cardiff was granted city rights in the 13th century, but remained a relatively small town.
In 1404, Owain Glyndŵr, a Welsh leader who led a 15-year Welsh revolt against English rule in Wales, burned Cardiff to the ground and took possession of the castle. The settlement was rebuilt. In 1538, Henry VIII closed the Dominican and Franciscan monasteries of Cardiff, the remains of which were used as building materials.
In the 19th century, the city experienced an unexpected growth spurt thanks to industrialisation and coal mining. The harbour was expanded and developed into the largest coal port in the world.
The New Theatre was opened to the public in 1906. The first public performance was a production of William Shakespeare's Twelfth Night.
In the early years of BBC radio broadcasts in the late 1920s, performances and concerts were broadcast live from the New Theatre.
