Uitnodiging voor de toneelvoorstelling ter ere van de vijfentwintigjarige verbintenis van de actrice C.H. Roobol-Jelgerhuis aan de Amsterdamse Schouwburg, 1837 Possibly 1837

This invitation to a theatrical performance in honor of actress C.H. Roobol-Jelgerhuis's 25th anniversary with the Amsterdamse Schouwburg was likely created in 1837. The program features three works: the original romantic play "Ida van Falkenstein" directed by A.P. Voitus van Hamme, the French adaptation of "The Lady of the Camellias" by Alexandre Dumas, and the new comic ballet-pantomime "De Scheveningsche Visschers" composed by A.P. Voitus van Hamme. The detailed program, printed in Dutch, highlights the diverse and engaging theatrical experience offered at the Schouwburg. The playbill serves as a primary source, revealing the cultural scene in Amsterdam in the 19th century. It also reflects the popularity of romantic dramas and the appeal of lighter comic productions.
