London Globe Theatre – Les Cloches De Corneville – 1879
A Victorian theatre programme for Les Cloches De Corneville at the Globe Theatre, London, in 1879.
The cast includes Wilfred Morgan, Edward Righton, Clara Graham and May Tudor in Robert Planquette’s comic opera about a miser, a haunted chateau and a lost heiress in a Normandy village.
Programmes from the 1870s are scarce survivors, and this one comes from a celebrated London run, a fine find among old theatre programmes.
