Comments:
By Command of Their Majesties. 2nd Ballet: With entire new Scenes, Dresses, Machinery, &c. [Synopsis of action (H. Reynell, 1791); music by Mazzinghi.] "The machinery in this Ballet is highly deserving of praise. Calypso's Grottov, which is formed by the wings and a flat scene rising suddenly from the earth, had a surprising effect. The Mechanism by which this change is produced, we apprehend, is wholly new in this country" (Morning Post, 21 Mar.)
