Adelina Patti made her operatic debut on september 1852. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 151.20.95.26 (talk) 18:24, 25 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Opening night 1859[edit]

A different date and play are reported in “Opening of the Winter Garden,” The New York Times, September 15, 1859. Vzeebjtf (talk) 05:57, 13 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The Times review's information is confirmed in Brown Vol. 1, pp. 446 (last paragraph)-447.

Theatre address[edit]

624 Broadway is on the east side of Broadway, and is the address of the theatre managed by Laura Keene for seven seasons after she was displaced by Burton at what later became the Winter Garden Theatre. See p. 123 of Brown Vol. 2:

Brown, Thomas Allston A History of the New York Stage, Vol. 2. Dodd, Mead and Company, New York, 1903

This 1859 map, from the New York Public Library Digital Gallery, shows the address of the theatre to be 667, (but you have to use the "Zoom" tool to see it). It also shows that the theatre is behind the hotel, rather than the other way around. (Amity Street is today called West 3rd Street.) Vzeebjtf (talk) 08:59, 13 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Removed image[edit]

I removed an image, which was of Laura Keene's new theatre, at 624 Broadway, which opened November 18, 1856. See Image ID: 809965 at New York Public Library Digital Gallery and “Laura Keene’s Theatre,” The New York Times, November 19, 1856 Vzeebjtf (talk) 12:56, 27 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
