The Tivoli Theatre in Dublin, Ireland, started life as the Conciliation Hall[1] in 1834. It was built as a
meeting place forDaniel O'Connell's Repeal Association.[2] In 1897, it was rebuilt as a concert hall
called the Grand Lyric Hall and changed name to the Lyric Theatre of Varieties the following year.
It became known as the Tivoli in 1901. It was a modest sized music hall with seating for 1252
patrons.[3]
The Tivoli closed in 1928 but for a short time continued to show cine-variety on Sunday nights.
[3]
Finally closed in 1930 and the building became the home of the Irish Press newspaper group.[4]
