Dora Stoutzker Hall
Our Dora Stoutzker Hall, named by Sir Ian Stoutzker for his mother who was a piano and singing teacher from Tredegar, is the only purpose-built chamber recital hall in Wales. Greatly admired by musicians and audiences alike, the beauty and world class acoustic of “the Dora” inspires and showcases the musical performances of our young artists while also attracting internationally renowned professionals to perform on its stage and work with our students every year. A rich and diverse programme keeps the hall in use all year round including for international competitions such as BBC Young Musician and BBC Cardiff Singer of the World.

Richard Burton Theatre
This intimate courtyard theatre, named after one of Wales’ greatest actors, is home to our very own in-house repertory company – the Richard Burton Company. A bronze bust of Burton, gifted to the College by his former wife, the late Dame Elizabeth Taylor, stands outside its doors and was unveiled by his daughter, Kate Burton, during the opening of the theatre.
