Hatfield House Hertfordshire
Performances
to be staged inside
The Marble Hall
Hatfield House was completed in 1611. It was built by Robert Cecil, first Earl of Salisbury and son of Lord Burghley, the chief minister of Elizabeth I. The deer park surrounding the house and the older building of the Old Palace had been owned by Elizabeth’s father, Henry VIII, who had used it as a home for his children, Edward, Elizabeth and Mary. It was while she was living in the Old Palace, in 1558, that Elizabeth learned of her accession to the throne.
By kind permission of the 7th Marquess of Salisbury, Candlelight Opera are pleased to perform inside The Marble Hall at Hatfield House. Entertainments are often staged inside The Old Palace, however this event offers guests the unique opportunity to enjoy a private viewing of the State Apartments and magnificent fine art treasures in the main house before taking their seats in the spectacular Marble Hall for the evening's performance.
