Franz Liszt

On 17 August 1840, the inhabitants of Portsmouth could pay six shillings to see a concert by the world famous pianist Franz Liszt at the Theatre Royal. He was accompanied by a varied programme of singers and composers. The Theatre Royal stood at the top of the High Street on the site now occupied by the Grammar School.
