Title

Royal Queen's Theatre and Opera House Edinburgh

Description

The Illustrated London News reported on the Queen's Theatre and Opera House in their 14th of February 1857 edition:- “This newly built theatre […] is considered to be creditable to the taste and skill of the architect, both as regards the picturesque frontage of the building and the commodious and convenient construction of the interior.” The Royal Patent from the former Theatre Royal, Shakespeare Square, Edinburgh was transferred to the Broughton Street Theatre in 1859 after the Shakespeare Square Theatre was demolished. Sadly in January 1865 the Queen's Theatre and Opera House was also destroyed by fire. [http://www.arthurlloyd.co.uk/Edinburgh/TheatreRoyal.htm]
