  • Description
    Newspaper engraving showing the auditorium of the Royal Comedy Theatre. The engraving is taken from the centre of the stalls; the impression is looking onto the stage from a seated position. The conductor in the orchestra pit, though not the pit itself, the stalls, the boxes, the stage, a canopied riser and the scenery cloth are visible; the stage is occupied by over 20 actors performing, perhaps, one of the comic operas for which the theatre was originally designed.
