London Royal Alhambra Theatre – Flower Queen – c 1875
A Victorian theatre programme for Flower Queen at the Royal Alhambra Theatre, London, dating from around 1875. The cast included John Lauri, Frank Hall, Alice Hilton and Inez Harland.
In the 1870s the Alhambra was famous for spectacular entertainments, combining opera bouffe, extravaganza and lavish ballets with large companies of dancers.
Programmes of this age from Leicester Square are rare, and this one is a lovely example for collectors of old theatre programmes and Victorian spectacle.
