A theatre originally named Liefhebbery Tooneel by the founding company. It was later known as both the Hope Street Theatre and (from 1846, when it was overhauled) the Victoria Theatre, under which names it continued to exist until 1851. It was also briefly known as the Sans Souci Theatre in 1848, when Theatre de L’Union played there.
The Hope Street Theatre should however not be confused with another venue also situated in Hope Street, and briefly used in 1849, which was known as Haupt’s Warehouse or Haupt's Theatre. (Bosman, 1928;) [JH]
