a musichall
a musichall:
G i l d a : I went to a very good concert at the Festival Hall
last month. You call that hall “a concert hall”, don’t you?
Mrs. G r e e n : Yes.
G i l d a : Well, what’s “a musichall”? I’ve seen that name
several times and heard it used in broadcasts, too.
Mrs. G r e e n : A musichall is something very different from
a concert hall! If you want to hear a symphony orchestra playing
good music, you go to a concert hall. A musichall is more like a
theatre. The seats are arranged like those in a theatre. There’s a
stage with curtains like in the theatre. There’s scenery on the
stage. We often use the name “Variety Theatre”.
G i l d a : What would I see and hear if I went to a musichall?
Mrs. G r e e n : There’d be popular music and singing and
dancing. There’d be performances by acrobats and jugglers.
There might even be performing animals.
G i l d a : To my mind musichalls are not so popular now.
People prefer films today, and radio and television keep people
at home more.
Mrs. G r e e n : I agree with you. The most popular singers
and comedians are seen and heard by millions of viewers and
listeners in their own homes.
