Video Recordings of NT productions

The National Theatre has made video recordings of its productions since 1995. Until 2006 these recordings were made with a single camera recording a wide shot from the back of the auditorium. In 2006 we introduced a high quality digital three-camera system to the Lyttelton and Olivier auditoriums; we vary between using one and two cameras in the Cottesloe Theatre. A 'live-edit' is produced for every show and is available to view with a synchronous fixed wide shot recording. The resulting digital videos are available on-demand to researchers in the NT Archive via our new National Theatre Digital Archive (NTDA) system. The video collection is only available for viewing within the NT Archive; under no circumstances will recordings be copied or loaned.

A chronological list of NT recordings is available to download at the foot of this page.
