22 May 1800 @ King's Theatre

Event Comment: Benefit for Mme Banti. A New Serious Opera [1st time; SER 2]. The Poetry by Metastasio, and the Music entirely new, composed by an English Gentleman [Richard Edgcumbe, Earl of Mount-Edgcumbe], who has obligingly lent Mme Banti the Score, and kindly consented to its being represented upon that occasion. Tickets to be had of Mme Banti, No. 24, St. Alban's-street. "Having granted the use of this opera to Banti only, I withdrew it immediately, and would not permit it to be again represented for the manager, who requested to have it. After this, Roselli sung no more, nor had we ever another soprano [i.e. castrato] at the opera [until 1825]" (Mount-Edgcumbe, 88)
