Opera House at Craig y Nos Castle
About this space
The Adelina Patti Opera House at Craig y Nos Castle is one of the most unique and enchanting wedding ceremony venues in the UK.
this beautifully preserved Grade I listed theatre was originally built in the 19th century for the world-famous opera singer Adelina Patti - one of the most celebrated sopranos of the 19th century, singing privately for Queen Victoria for 40 years.
Rich in heritage and architectural beauty, the theatre’s ornate mouldings and classic stage create a setting as distinguished as the moments it hosts. Every detail - from the hush of velvet to the clarity of a spoken vow - works in harmony to create a wedding steeped in elegance.
Designed for her personal performances and private guests, the theatre mirrors the grandeur of the Royal Albert Hall.
In 1905, Adelina became the first opera singer to have her voice recorded in Britain, marking the very beginning of the British recording industry.
The Theatre seats up to 130 guests.
