[This performance was originally advertised to take place at the <i>Pantheon</i>, <i>Oxford-street</i>, but "The routed Host of Harmonists, driven from their new works in Oxford-road, hastily encamped last night [at <i>Covent Garden</i>]. Their performance...went off as might be expected from a scanty band, thus collected, without any previous rehearsal" (<i>Morning Herald</i>, 21 Feb.). The Pantheon had been destroyed by fire in January 1792. Work on its reconstruction had only recently been begun, and Was still not completed. It was reopened with a masquerade on 9 April 1795, the "usual licenses being now fully renewed and established" (<i>Morning Herald</i>, 9 Apr.).]
