Burgtheater scrapbook of clippings 1888-1896

http://archives.nypl.org/the/21427

The Burgtheater, one of the pre-eminent theaters of the German-speaking world, was founded in 1741 as the court theater of the Hapsburgs and declared a national theater in 1776. In 1888 its move from an intimate theater in the Hofburg to a palatial building seemed to threaten its ensemble style of acting, but under the direction of Max Burckhard, it successfully made the transition to new quarters. Scrapbook of mounted clippings lists casts for performances, September 1, 1888 to April 8, 1896, just after the theater's move.
