The Elizabethan period came first, and was only in England, because Queen Elizabeth was the queen of England. The Baroque period came later, mostly in continental Europe, and refers mainly to a period in architecture with florid decoration, and in music.

No, the terms are not synonymous. In the phrase "Elizabethan theatre" the word "theatre" does not always imply a building, but more often the style, customs, practises, plays, playwrights and actors which defined the theatre community in London during the reign of Elizabeth I (1558-1603). It can also mean a building built during that period specifically as a venue for play performance--what was at that time called a playhouse. The Globe Theatre was only one (although the most famous one) of these Elizabethan playhouses. Others included the Rose, the Swan, the Curtain, the Fortune and the Red Bull.
Where is the Globe Theatre located?
The first proper theater as we know it was called the Theatre, built at Shoreditch, London in 1576 and the owner was James Burbage. James Burbage had obtained a 21 year lease with permission to build the first playhouse, aptly named ' The Theatre '. Before this time plays were performed in the courtyard of inns or inn-yards, or sometimes, in the houses of noblemen or in extreme circumstances on open ground. After the Theatre, further open air playhouses ( theaters ) opened in the London area, including the Rose Theatre (1587), and the Hope Theatre (1613). The most famous Elizabethan playhouse ( theater ) was the Globe Theatre (1599) built by the company in which Shakespeare had a stake - now often referred to as the Shakespearean Globe.
