### **The history of Royal Festival Hall**
Opened in 1951 as part of the Festival of Britain, the Royal Festival Hall was the first major public building to be constructed in the UK after World War II. Designed in a modernist style by a team led by Sir Robert Matthew and Leslie Martin, it became a symbol of national renewal and optimism.
The venue has undergone several refurbishments, most notably in 2007 when it was restored to its original mid-century brilliance. Today, it seats over 2,700 people and is home to prestigious resident ensembles including the London Philharmonic Orchestra, Philharmonia Orchestra, and the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment.
