The Coliseum, home to the English National Opera, re-opens its doors on Saturday, after a £41 million restoration.
Clare Ferraby, one of the leading designers, joins Martha to talk about the project, particularly how she marries the original features with modern needs and why she relishes the prospect of renewing seven more theatres despite having just turned 65.
The Coliseum opens on 21 February. First opera is The Rhinegold ? the first of the Ring cycle by Wagner which begins 27 February
