Rebuilt in 1895?[edit]

The article says so (though I have concealed the assertion in a comment). Only one source website that I know of concurs, viz Victorian Web. I have checked the listings, reviews and classified ads for the whole of 1895, and there was something on there during every month. There were breaks between some productions, but nothing like enough to allow time to rebuild a theatre. Moreover, The Era and other papers always reported in huge detail on new, rebuilt or refurbished theatres, and there's not a word about any such thing at the Opera Comique in 1895. I think the Victorian Web site has got muddled up with the 1885 refurbishment, which definitely did take place. - Tim riley (talk) 17:52, 9 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. Would you kindly add a cite for the 1885 refurbishment? All the best. -- Ssilvers (talk) 23:45, 9 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

So done. I've also removed the link to Rose Hersee, and added a note that this Rose Hersee was a child of 12. I have added that there is no evidence in the contemporary press (I have checked the Pall Mall Gazette, Era, and Morning Post) that the young person was related to the opera singer (though I bet she was). - Tim riley (talk) 03:58, 10 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Assessment[edit]

B class now, I think. -- Ssilvers (talk) 01:05, 5 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
