Victorian theatre and opera house in Merthyr being auctioned with £0 reserve price

A former Victorian theatre and opera house in Merthyr will come up at auction next month with a reserve price of £0.

The grade II Theatre Royal and Opera House building, which dates back to the 1890s, has been empty since the 2000s. It was last used as a bingo hall.

The reserve price on the fading but once grandiose building, at Park Place, Penydarren Road, reflects the level of investment required to bring it back into use. There has already been interest from potential investors looking to turn it back into a theatre and opera house.
