What was the date of the opening day of the Globe Theatre in Shakespeare's time and what play was performed?
1597 . Henry V
What did Shakespeare refer to the globe theatre as?
In the prologue to Henry V, Shakespeare talks about a "wooden O". But that was not the Globe Theatre he was talking about. Henry V was written before the Globe was built. He was probably talking about The Curtain Playhouse.
What was the first play performed in the globe theatre called by shakespeare?
Julius Caesar, which was known to have been performed at the Globe in 1599 (the year it was built), is a good candidate. Some people seem to think that Henry V was the play, but it is unclear what evidence if any there is for this idea.
What was the first play Shakespeare staged at the Globe Theatre?
You mean the newly built Globe Theatre, of course. The Globe was not just moved from North London and renamed; although it used the timbers of the old Theatre, it was in most respects altogether new. Many people think that Julius Caesar may have been the first play performed there. We have a diary record of a man who went to see it shortly after the theatre was built.
What was it like to go to the globe theatre?
I enjoyed it. The best way is to go to the New Shakespeare's Globe in London and watch a play there. Or if you can't do that, then watch a recording of a play being performed there. Or watch the beginning of Laurence Olivier's Henry V, which has an impression of what Elizabethan theatre was like live. Then imagine that the crowd is rowdier.

What play by Shakespeare is said to contain a reference to the Globe Theatre?
In The Tempest, Prospero has a line containing the phrase, "the great globe itself" but if it is a reference to the playhouse, it is as a pun. The Chorus in Henry V mentions the 'wooden O" in conjunction with the playhouse, but the playhouse in question was not the Globe. The play was first performed before the company built The Globe.
What are to plays that were performed in the rebuilt theater opening in season in 1997?
The Globe Theater was rebuilt and opened sometime in 1599. Dispute on the opening date causes some historical debate on the opening plays. They were likely to have been 'Henry V,' 'Julius Caesar,' and/ or 'Every Man out of His Humour.'
What shakespeares plays were performed at the original globe?
We're pretty sure about Julius Caesar, Hamlet and Henry V, which were performed about the time the Globe was built. Richard II was played at the Globe in 1601 in the hope that it would drum up support for the Earl of Essex (it didn't). We are definitely sure about Henry VIII which is what they were playing when the Globe burned down in 1613. Simon Forman saw Macbeth, The Winter's Tale and possibly Cymbeline at the Globe in 1610-11. Troilus and Cressida, All's Well That Ends Well, Measure for Measure, and The Tempest were likely played at the Globe as well. There could have been revivals of his earlier plays, but we cannot be sure. It is possible that some did not appear on the public stage at all. There are no accounts of contemporary performances of Coriolanus or Timon of Athens.
What is theater is famously linked to Shakespeare's name?
The Globe. Shakespeare performed in this theatre and his plays were performed there during its existence between 1599 and 1613.Contrary to popular misconceptions:--Many of Shakespeare's plays did not see their first performance at the Globe, including Henry V, Romeo and Juliet, The Taming of the Shrew, Richard III, A Midsummer Night's Dream, The Merchant of Venice and Much Ado about Nothing, all written before the Globe was built.--Shakespeare did not own the Globe theatre, although he owned a minor share in it. The majority was owned by Richard and Cuthbert Burbage.--Shakespeare was not in charge of building the Globe Theatre. That was a man called Peter Street.--Shakespeare did not produce any of his plays in the Globe Theatre. In fact, Shakespeare was not in charge of which plays were performed by his theatrical company.

Debra Hauer. It was in 1997, not 1996 by the way. Mark Rylance played the King. You can get a DVD of one of the performances.
