ANDY PARADISE
The magic of the performing arts, whether it be theatre, music, ballet, or opera, is that they can convey us to a far-away world full of wonder. For Craig Hassall, chasing that passion has brought him from Sydney, Australia, to the UK, where he’s now the ultimate man behind the curtain at the Royal Albert Hall. Here, he talks to Attitude about where his love of the theatre began, whether he thinks the arts are open to everyone and his plans to modernise the Royal Albert Hall.
