Guildhall is an institution that knows it has to be connected to the outside world - that's the key thing. It's not a bubble. It has roots in the city and in the world.

One minute you could be playing in the Guildhall Studio Orchestra with jazz musicians, the next you could be playing in the opera pit, then the next minute you'll be with actors doing the musical and then playing a symphony in the orchestra.

TV Studio Suite

The TV Studio Suite provides the School with dedicated space and specialised equipment for video editing and training in film and television. This has become an essential requirement for drama schools to increase their actors’ versatility once they enter the profession. The Suite also services the increasing video requirements for the School’s opera productions.

The TV Studio Suite features:

industry-standard TV cameras and recording equipment
state-of-the-art video-editing suite incorporating communication and control facilities with the TV studio
lighting and sound control systems

Rehearsal Rooms

The three sprung-floor major rehearsal rooms at Milton Court are integral to the training of actors and opera singers at the School. Each room is the same size as one of the School’s new or existing theatres so that productions can be transferred more easily from rehearsal room to the stage.

These Rehearsal Rooms feature:

sprung floors and full-length mirrors
state-of-the-art lighting and sound facilities
removable, flexible seating in the basement rehearsal room
moveable screens for shaping the rehearsal areas
adjacent student dressing rooms and showers

Public foyers

Bright, open, well-furnished public foyers on two levels allow students and the public to access all of the venues and meet, eat and drink in comfortable surroundings both during the day and before performances. Glass walls allow the bustling foyer activity to be completely visible from the street, raising our physical profile within the local neighbourhood and the City of London.

Our public foyers feature:

audio-visual screens on venue doors to manage latecomers
dedicated box office facilities
public bars on both levels
cloakroom to service all three main venues
public address system throughout the foyer spaces
