EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this print of the Alexandra Opera House, Blonk Street, Sheffield, taken in the 19th century. The poster proudly displays its grand offerings - a powerful dramatic and musical company that graced its stage every evening. Under the management of W. Brittlebank, this iconic theatre was a hub for entertainment and cultural experiences. Originally built in 1837 by Mr Egan as The Adelphi Circus Theatre, it later underwent a transformation to become the beloved Alexandra Opera House. Its architectural beauty and rich history made it an integral part of Sheffield's cultural landscape. Sadly, this magnificent establishment met its fate when it was demolished in 1914. However, through this print from Sheffield City Archives, we can still appreciate its grandeur and imagine the vibrant performances that once took place within those walls. Transport yourself to a bygone era as you gaze upon this historical artifact capturing the essence of Victorian entertainment. Marvel at the ornate details of the opera house facade and envision audiences eagerly awaiting their favorite shows. This print is not just an image; it's a gateway to another time – one filled with passion for theater and music. Let your imagination take flight as you delve into the story behind Alexandra Opera House.
