THEATRES, CONCERTS, FESTIVALS AND CINEMA
The theatre is mainly concentrated in London, where there are at least forty theatres functioning, and a successful play can continue to be shown for many months or even years. Outside London a few large towns have theatres in which are performed, generally for one week at a time, plays which take a trial run before opening in London. Orchestral concerts are given regularly in London by several first-class orchestras which are based there. The largest provincial centers also maintain permanent orchestras, which give regular concerts. Seasons of opera are performed at the Royal Opera House at Covent Garden, in central London, and also of ballet by the Royal Ballet; "Festivals" of the arts take place in several towns, of which the best known is the annual 1'nternational Festival of Music and Drama in Edinburgh.
