Her Majesty's Theatre

Theatre in the Haymarket, London. The present building, which holds 1,283, was designed by the English architect C J Phipps (1835–1897) and dates from 1897. It is the fourth theatre on the site; the first, designed by John Vanbrugh, opened in 1705.

The first theatre on the site opened in 1705 as the Queen's Theatre; it became the King's Theatre on the accession of George I in 1714. It burned down in 1789 and was replaced in 1791; it was renamed Her Majesty's Theatre, Italian Opera House in 1837, on the accession of Queen Victoria (the ‘Italian Opera House’ part of the name was dropped in 1847). It specialized in productions of opera and romantic ballet 1830–50. Burned down again in l867 and rebuilt in 1869, it never regained its popularity and was demolished in 1892. In 1897 Phipps's new theatre was built on the site. From 1901 to 1952 it was known as His Majesty's.
