Copper Hall

A Cambridge hall used for guild exhibitions, demonstration lectures, instrument trials and occasional performances; the Collegium insists it is not formally a theatre.

Cambridge's hall on Scholar's Reach and the High South's great secular stage for concerts, demonstrations, touring plays and full opera.

Named with it

At the table

Mixes opera and public demonstrations with a confidence Oxford finds faintly indecorous. Exhibitions sell presentation instruments and curiosities; a moving drawing may be billed as a proving demonstration.
