Description
A collection of programmes from London theatres beginning "Q" to "R".
Concerts:
The collection contains a substantial amount of programmes from concerts at the Round House; these include orchestral concerts, recitals and experimental genres. Though the collection contains programmes from main-stream orchestral concerts by the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra among others, contemporary music features prominently in the collection. These include concerts featuring major works of Cage, Glass, Boulez and Stockhausen among others. Concert series represented include the New Mcnaughten Concerts and there are a number of programmes from concerts and events organised by the Contemporary Music Network (from 1980 to 1982). Other theatres have a few programmes from concerts. There is one programme from both the Royal Theatre and the Royal Artillery Theatre; these feature mixed programmes by bands. There are two programmes from the Royal Court Theatre from concerts organised by the English opera group in the 1950s. There is a programme from the Royalty Theatre for a song and dance evening.
Staged works:
There are a substantial number of programmes from the Regent Theatre; these are chiefly from works by Rutland Boughton, the majority of which are from performances of "Immortal hour". There are also a number of programmes from the Queen's Theatre and the Royalty Theatre.
Theatres included:
Queen's Theatre; Rainbow [No other information known about this venue; possibly not a theatre]; Regent Theatre; Round House Theatre; The Royal; Royal Artillery Theatre (abbreviated to "R.A."); Royal court theatre; Royal Surrey Theatre; Royalty Theatre; Rudolf Steiner Theatre.
