Abstract

During the 1870s Ottawa audiences enjoyed a varied program of professional touring companies. Opera, drama, minstrel and one-man shows, as well as circuses visited the city. An analysis of the performance calendar of shows at Her Majesty's Theatre, the Rink Music Hall, Gowan's Opera House, and later the Opera House reveals Ottawa's prominent position on the south-eastern Ontario touring circuit during the nineteenth century.
