I thought that when the Millennium Centre came to Cardiff Bay places like this would die, so it\u2019s a good thing that this has happened and that people are still going to shows.

The venue is the home of the Welsh Proms and the Cardiff Philharmonic Orchestra, and includes open foyers which host regular free performances.<br \/>\nCaroline Green, director and chair of the Cardiff Philharmonic Orchestra, said: \u201cWe\u2019re delighted to hear that the future of St David\u2019s Hall has been secured. It\u2019s a super hall to perform in and as we are regularly getting audiences of over 800\u00a0people, it\u2019s the only concert hall in the Cardiff area that is large enough to hold the orchestra and the audience. We look forward to performing many more concerts in our home city.\u201d<br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The decision to end the external bidding process on both the New Theatre and St David&#8217;s Hall was taken by the council cabinet yesterday. The venues had been the subject of bids since 2014.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The two venues will now stay under the control of the council as part of a three phase plan which aims to slash subsidy costs for the taxpayer from \u00a32 million a year to \u00a31.2 million. To achieve this, 11 jobs will be lost across the two venues as a single staffing team is created. <\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Coun Bob Derbyshire, Labour councillor for Rumney and cabinet member for the environment said: \u201cWhat\u2019s important is that we make the right decision and I\u2019m confident that this is the right decision. It also gives some assurance to the staff who have faced uncertainty during this time.\u201d<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">One option which is being explored is the creation of a \u201cnot for profit\u201d trust, which could allow the council to retain interest in the venues while attracting the further capital investment needed to carry out major refurbishments and repairs at both sites.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The council has set tough targets for the venues as part of its plan. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">It hopes to make \u00a3547,000 of savings this coming financial year and \u00a3416,000 the following year 2018\/19.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Peter Bradbury, Labour councillor for Caerau and cabinet member for community development, co-operatives and social enterprise said: <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cExternal bidders are able to keep their costs down in a way that we are not, therefore they can bid lower to keep their overheads down. But we are still competing favourably.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cThe building was subsidised five years ago by \u00a33 million. This has gone down exponentially.<\/span><br \/>\n\u201cThe city council will retain full control over the buildings, the pricing, programming, marketing and the development potential that these buildings have. There are challenges though. There is a significant maintenance backlog on both buildings and St David\u2019s hall is in need of modernisation.<br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cWe want to control the agenda so that we can keep the programmes that aren&#8217;t necessarily profitable but that are massively important to the cultural fabric of the city. This is about securing a long term future and having a strong plan proves how we are going to do this.\u201d<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Coun Susan Elsmore, Labour councillor for Canton and cabinet member for <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Health, Housing and Wellbeing said:<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> \u201cIt\u2019s interesting that where we are is not where we began but for me I\u2019m really, really delighted because this recognises the importance of these two important cultural venues to us and to the city of Cardiff. This is indeed part of the theme of putting Cardiff on the map culturally.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ACTOR Mike Doyle and theatre-goers have welcomed the news that the New Theatre and St David&#8217;s Hall will remain under the control of Cardiff council.
