Шаблон:Use dmy dates The Haymarket Theatre, or Royal Haymarket Theatre[1] was a live theatre built by George Coppin in the Haymarket district of Melbourne, Australia in 1862 and was destroyed by fire in 1871.
History
The theatre was built on Шаблон:Convert on the south side of Bourke Street, extending through to Little Collins Street, and opened in 1862. Conlan was the architect and Cornwall the builder.[2] The building incorporated the Apollo Music Hall, which opened on 5 July 1862 with a programme that featured Madame Carandini.[3]
The theatre proper was opened on 15 September 1862 with the play Our American Cousin.[1]
It was renamed the Duke of Edinburgh Theatre in January 1868[4] in honour of the visit of Prince Alfred, Duke of Edinburgh, but remained the "Haymarket", informally at least.
It was destroyed by fire on the evening of 22 September 1871.[5] The building had been closed for some months owing to a dispute between the leaseholders and the trustees.
