Beschreibung

Original fragile folded theatre programme. 8vo. 8'' x 5''. The Prince of Wales Theatre was built on Broad Street, Birmingham at a cost of £12,000, and opened on the 3rd of September 1856 as the Royal Music Hall with a production of 'The Messiah.' When W. H. Swanborough bought the Theatre from its original owner, James Scott, in 1862 he renamed the building the Prince of Wales Operetta House. It was named Prince of Wales Operetta House after the marriage of the then Prince of Wales, Edward the VII. However, the Operetta House part of the name was dropped some years later in 1865 when the name became the simpler Prince of Wales Theatre (Arthur Lloyd). Extremely delicate four sided folded programme with text to all four sides. Looks as if it was disbound with small stitched holes to the left margin. Member of the P.B.F.A. THEATRE PROGRAMMES.
