## Resource

The King’s Theatre in Edinburgh roared back to life with a dazzling grand reopening, celebrating 120 years of theatrical magic. Violinist Nicola Benedetti stole the show with a breathtaking solo opener, setting the tone for an unforgettable evening hosted by pantomime legends Allan Stewart, Grant Stott, and Jordan Young. The night showcased Scotland’s finest performing arts — from Scottish Ballet and Opera to the National Theatre of Scotland and poet Hannah Lavery — all under one roof. Emotional speeches from Dame Joan Stringer and First Minister John Swinney honored the theatre’s legacy, while vibrant projections lit up the façade after dark. With a stunningly refreshed interior and a renewed spirit, the King’s Theatre officially reopened to the public Saturday morning — heralding a bold new chapter for this beloved cultural icon.
