EDITOR'S NOTES:

Opened in 1867 in Langham Place as a concert hall for the New Philharmonic Society, and used by amateurs as a theatre in the same year, called the St. George's Theatre. The name became St. George's Opera House at end of 1867 but back to original name in March 1868. It became the Matinee Theatre in 1897, but back to St. George's Theatre in 1898.
