PROSPECTUS.
This Company is formed for purchasing, on advanta-
geous terms, the magnificent Music Hall, well known to
the public as the Royal Alhambra Palace, Leicester-square,
London.
The present proprietor, wishing to relieve himself of the
great anxiety and responsibility consequent on the sole
management of so large an establishment, has consented to
part with his entire interest in the property to this Com-
pany, taking a large proportion of the purchase-money in
shares. He will in future divide the management with an
Executive Committee; thus there can be little doubt of in-
creasing even the present success of the institution.
It is intended to engage permanently, for the Evening
Concerts, a complete and efficient Orchestra and a nume-
rous Chorus • and to engage nightly eminent Vocal and
Instrumental' Solo Performers, and by constantly varying
the entertainment, always to renew its attraction. It is in •
tended also, besides producing the most admired works in
all schools of music, to invite the most popular composers
of the day to write expressly for the Alhambra Concerts
pieces which will be specially adapted to the resources of
the Hall and the taste of the visitors. The nightly Con-
' cede at the Alhambra will, in some degree, resemble those
at'the public gardens of Berlin and Vienna, where the great
masterpieces in music are executed to such. perfection as
can onlYhe attained by the constant playing together of
the same artists; they will present opportunity for the
training of a band and chorus to such a degree of excellence
• in ensemble peformance,. as is all but incompatible with the
occasional uniori of singers and players, even of the highest
individual quahfications ; they may thus be the means of
advancing
.musical art, whilst promoting the national taste
for music, orthe manlier begun at the Promenade Concerts,
and continued at the Monday Popular Concerts,
The nightly entertainthents will be divided into two parts
—toe first part will consist of the concerts described above,
which will compriae high-class music only, and will termi-
nate
at an early hour. The second part will include
verious popular sources of amusement.
Mr. G. A. Macfarren, of the Royal Academy of Music
(ohe of•the directors), has undertaken to write periodically
:for the Alhambra Concerts.
An engagement pending with Mr. A. Manna, of the
' Crystal Mace, to be conductor of the orchestral concerts.
It is intended to open the hall every day as an exhibition
of pictures by living artists, at a moderate charge of admis-
sion, which will be a great boon to many, who will thus
have an opportunity of "displaying and selling meritorious
productions which' tow remain unknown to the public. A
commission on all sales effected will be charged.
On-special occasions .the Hall may be used or let during
the daytime, which has,
.never yet been attempted.
The extensive eellarage belonging to the Hall can be let
for a considerable stinfper annum.
It is intended to iMprove the acoustic properties of the
• lan, and to introduce alterations which will greatly con-
tribute to the comfort'of the visitors whilst adding to the
• sources of profit, such as greater diffusion of light at less
expense, the constructien of private boxes, re-arrangement
of the body of the hall and stalls (some of which will be set
apart 'for ladies only); • with indications of occupancy of
Pseats, and fitting up wo commodious and well-appointed
supper-rooms (a want much felt at the establishment at
present), &c. , •
There is no position in the metropolis more central, or
better adapted for the purposes contemplated. The Royal
' Alhambra Palace is only, four or five minutes walk from
• the Charing-cross Railway, to be opened early in July,
which will give facilities to visitors. It is near many hotels
in the neighbourhood of Trafalgar. square and the Strand,
snd the projected Charing - cross, Adelphi, and Strand
Irlotels 'will no doubt furnish a large audience.
The hall is capable of holding upwards of 6,000 persons.
The price to be paid for the lease of 51 years of the Hall,
the houses, and • the entire buildings belonging thereto,
goodwill, furniture, fittings, stage properties, stock of plate,
glass, china, cutlery, and entire contents, is £35,000 in cash
and £lO,OOO in fully paid up shares of the Company, which
is considered a very advantageous purchase.
Each registered owner of 30 shares and upwards will be
supplied by the directors with a free pass ticket, with name
and address thereon, to admit such shareholder to any prat
of the Hall when opened, excepting private boxes and parts
specially appropriated to the performers. In future issues
of shares preference will be given to original shareholders.
As the business is formed already, there would be an im-
mediate income the day after the Company entered into
possession.
The Directors confidently appeal to the public for the
remaining capital required.
Prospectuses, with Application Forms for Shares, may
be obtained at the Temporary Offices of the Company, of
the Brokers, Solicitors, or Architect, and at the Royal
Alhambra Palace, Leicester-square, London.
The enormous profits of well-conducted kindred establish-
ments are pretty generally known to the public, and the
Directors have much pleasure in submitting the following
statement for intending shareholders.
APPROXIMATE EXPENDITURE and MINIMUM REVENUE
for One Year of 310 Nights, when only 2,000 Persons are
in the Hall nightly, although by the Improvements con-
templated it will hold upwards of 6,000 Visitors.
