Liverpool Empire Theatre is located on Lime Street in Liverpool, England. It is the largest theatre in Liverpool, and the largest two-tier theatre in Britain. It is part of the William Brown Street conservation area.
It was designed by W. and T. R. Milburn and opened on 9 March 1925 and was built by Moss Empires on the site of the Royal Alexandra Theatre and Opera House, the former New Prince of Wales Theatre and Opera House.
The theatre seats a total of 2,381 audience members and puts on approximately 80 shows a year. It is used as a touring venue by Welsh National Opera.
In April 1979 Merseyside County Council bought the theatre from Moss Empires, who spent £680,000 on works in the next two years. It is managed by Clear Channel Entertainment (now Live Nation) and in recent years has undergone a £10.5 million regeneration.
In 2007, the theatre hosted the annual Royal Variety Performance, with Paul Potts, the winning contestant of Britain's Got Talent performing "Nessun Dorma".
In 2009, Most Haunted conducted various ghost vigils in the Theatre live on Living Channel.
