Event Comment: 2nd ballet: Revived, and brought forward under
the direction of
Barre.
The Music, with additional Airs, by
Mazzinghi.
The Scenery entirely
new, painted by
Greenwood and assistants under his Direction.
The Dresses
new by
Sestini. "This dance is
the composition of
the celebrated
Noverre, and it is totally different from
the ballet under
the same title, brought out at
Paris under
Gardel...
The torches and swords of fire in hands of
Furies produced so tremendous an effect that a part of audience seemed petrified at agonies of
Psyche. Much of this effect was produced by
the strong reflection from glass pannels of boxes" (Morning Chronicle, 19 Dec.).
The frequenters of Opera are respectfully acquainted that Posts with Chains are placed all along front of
Theatre to prevent Carriages from driving upon
the foot way, so that Chairs can in future come by great door in
the Haymarket with perfect safety
