| Description : |
The Theatre Royal in Hindley Street, Adelaide. The poster advertises the production of 'La Fille du Tambour Major'. The entrance doors to the pit, gallery, stalls and dress circle areas of the theatre can be seen on the street frontage. Next door east are the premises of Tattersalls, AM Bickford & Sons and J Miller Anderson & Co. In the right foreground, an elaborate gas lamp with a stag design on the glass sides, is attached to the balcony of the building opposite the theatre. 'La Fille du Tambour Major', a three act opera by Jacques Offenbach, was presented by George Musgrove's New London Opera Comique Company at the Theatre Royal in a season which ran from 2 May to 4 June 1881. This image is from an album of 50 photographs of Adelaide and country subjects by Samuel White Sweet. |
