The second theater, designed by Robert Smirke, opened on 18 Sept. 1809 and was managed by <persName ref="#Kemble_JP">John Phillip Kemble</persName>. Because of rent increases by the Duke of Bedford, the landowner, J.P. Kemble increased ticket prices. This led to the "old price (or O.P.) riots" and the eventual lowering of ticket prices, although the proprietors proved they would lose money at those prices. The second theater was destroyed by fire on 5 March 1856. The third theater, designed by Edward Middleton Barry, opened in 1858 and remains at the center of today's theater complex. The theater became the Royal Opera House in 1892 and the building was renovated and expanded in the 1980s and 1990s.
