The New Haymarket Polka: A Glimpse into Late Victorian Entertainment This music cover, titled "The New Haymarket Polka," showcases an enchanting illustration of the iconic Haymarket Theatre in London during the late Victorian era, circa 1880. The image, created by renowned artist Meredith Ball, invites us to step back in time and experience the allure of a bygone era. The proscenium arch and safety curtain are the focal points of this exquisite artwork. The proscenium arch, adorned with intricate gold and red decorations, frames the stage and serves as a threshold between the audience and the performers. The safety curtain, a crucial element of theatre design, is depicted in a vibrant red hue, ready to protect the audience and performers in case of an emergency. The Haymarket Theatre, a historic venue in London's West End, was renowned for its productions of plays, operas, and musical entertainments during the 1880s. The front row seats, visible in the foreground, suggest an intimate and exclusive experience for those fortunate enough to attend a performance. The polka, a lively and popular dance during this period, is reflected in the title of the music cover, adding to the overall sense of excitement and enjoyment. This beautiful and intricately detailed illustration by Meredith Ball offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of late Victorian entertainment, inviting us to imagine the sights, sounds, and sensations of a night at the theatre over a century ago.
