You'd walk past the grand Victorian façade of the RCM on Prince Consort Road without realising there's a proper theatre hiding inside. The Britten is where the college's students and visiting artists perform—it's got that charged atmosphere of a place where people are actually trying things out, not just going through the motions. The acoustics are properly considered (it's a music college, after all), and the intimacy means you're never far from the action, whether it's a student recital or a professional production.
