Reviving the King’s Theatre

Sir, – It is reported Dundonians will have a say on options for reviving the King’s Theatre.

When we first came here 30 years ago we were horrified that any city council would have allowed such a great building with such a rich history to go to ruin.

Why should people with an interest in music, opera and ballet be limited to (fully attended) film versions at the DCA, and have to travel to Aberdeen, Inverness and Edinburgh in order to have a fair share of shows and performances?

Think of the joy the youngsters in this area would have gained by seeing the Nutcracker ballet, recently staged everywhere except Dundee.

There is a great choice of pop artists and concerts for the younger generation, and I am very happy they have that opportunity, but we are limited to the occasional concert in the Caird Hall.

So when will the King’s Theatre come back to the people of Dundee? Then we might be the city of all cultures. Moira Bowman, Collingwood Street, Barnhill, Dundee.
