The Brighton Dome is an event center in Brighton, England . It has a large, seated concert hall (Concert Hall), a hall without seats (Corn Exchange) and a small theater (Pavilion Theater).
The buildings were originally completed in 1805 for the Prince Regent, who later became King George IV, as horse stables with a riding school and a grain room. The architect William Porden designed the ensemble in an Indo-Islamic style . The 19 meter high glass dome that crowned the main hall was particularly noticeable. Around 1860 this stable was converted into a concert hall, and in 1870 a pipe organ from the workshop of Henry Willis & Sons was installed. The rooms are now used as a concert venue for all kinds of music, and events are held every week in the dome. The victory of the group ABBA at the Eurovision Song Contest 1974 in the Brighton Dome is considered to be one of the great moments of that competition.
