It wasn't. They are two distinctly different theatres. The Rose is the earlier one, being built in the late 1580's. The Globe was not built until 1599. Before Shakespeare became a member of The Lord Chamberlain's Men around 1594, he wrote plays which were performed by a number of groups, some of them who played at the Rose Theatre, as Henslowe's diary attests.

The film Shakespeare in Love suggests that Romeo and Juliet premiered at the Rose. It's possible but it is much more likely that it premiered at the Theatre, the Burbages' playhouse in Shoreditch. It certainly didd not premiere at the Globe.

Was the Globe theatre originally called the Rose theatre?

No, the Rose theatre and the Globe theatre are two different theatres. The Rose theatre opened before the Globe theatre in 1587, and the Globe theatre opened afterwards in 1599. The Rose theatre closed in 1605, whereas the Globe Theatre was burnt down in 1613, rebuilt in 1614 and then closed in 1642. Both theatres are now rebuilt and open to the public.

What was globe theaters name after they changed it?

The Gielgud Theatre used to be called the Globe Theatre (from 1909 to 1994). But my guess is that's not the Globe Theatre you are thinking of. You probably are mixing up the Globe Theatre (a building where Shakespeare and others acted and which never changed its name) and the Lord Chamberlain's Men (a company or group of actors which performed in a number of different buildings, the Globe theatre included, which changed its name a number of times).

Was the globe theatre the first theatre?

No it wasn't. The ancient Greeks and Romans built very effective outdoor theatres many of which are in use today, 1500 years and more before the Globe was built in 1599. But the Globe was not even the oldest theatre in Britain which was intended as a theatre not just an innyard. The Theatre in Shoreditch, built 1576, was the first. Newington Butts, The Curtain, The Rose, The Swan and the Blackfriars all were built before The Globe.
