Your glasses really...Rock!!
 
I went to see We Will Rock You at the Edinburgh Playhouse recently and was delighted by the excellent quality of your opera glasses. What an unbelievable difference they made. I could see John Deacon (Queen's original bass player) so clearly, the vision was perfect. They made the ticket price really worth it.

Greetings!

Greetings! Following yet another successful Christmas and New Year Panto period in theatre-land, it was estimated that London Opera Glasses were used by over 222,000 patrons,.... oh no they weren't....oh yes they were! We also paid out more commission in 2011 than ever before.

Proud to support British Business 

since 1913

This year marks the start of us shouting loudly and proudly about
our heritage and manufacturing policy of only using UK suppliers in the making of our opera glasses. As you may or may not know all of our glasses are manufactured from our base in Sandwich, Kent and next year will mark our centenary. 100 years of supplying our opera glasses to theatres throughout the country. Look out for our centenary celebrations starting at the end of this year. 

 


We now have Point of Sale material to help you promote Opera Glasses in your theatre.

A3 POS Poster mock upIn order to maximise rental use of our glasses and therefore the commission theatres receive, we have designed an A3 landscape framed poster to encourage patrons to use them. This framed poster is completely free and can also be tailored specifically for any theatre, and is available on request by emailing Philip Main. If you need any specific help to promote glasses use in your theatre, we can help. We really are your best support act.

London Opera Glasses installed in the famous Kings Theatre Glasgow

Kings theatre glasgow 
February this year will mark the return of our opera glasses in the famous and historic Kings Theatre, Glasgow. The theatre was commissioned by the theatre company Howard & Wyndham and opened in 1904. Designed by the eminent architect Frank Matcham the corner site has two distinctive facades, and has become a much loved building in this cultural city. The Kings Theatre becomes the 62nd Theatre in the UK to offer our opera glasses for rental.

 


 

Please do get in touch if you have your own opera glass story, or you think we might be able to help promote the use of opera glasses in your theatre.
