The Duke of York's Theatre
in London, UK, opened on 10 September 1892 with Wedding
Eve, was built for Frank Wyatt and his wife, Violet
Melnotte.
Initially called the Trafalgar Square, the name was
shortened to Trafalgar in 1894 and the following year
became the Duke of York's to honour the future King
George V.
In 1900, Jerome K. Jerome's Miss Hobbs was staged as
well as David Belasco's Madame Butterfly, which was seen
by Puccini, who later turned it into the famous opera.
In the late 1970s the freehold of the theatre was
purchased by Capital Radio and it closed in 1979 for
refurbishment. It reopened in February 1980 and the
first production under the patronage of Capital Radio
was Rose, starring Glenda Jackson. The Ambassador
Theatre Group bought the theatre in 1992 and this
coincided with London's hottest show, The Royal Court's
production of Ariel Dorfman's Death and the Maiden. A
host of successes followed including Richard O'Brien's
The Rocky Horror Show - celebrating its 21st Birthday
and the hugely successful Royal Court Classics Season in
1995. |
