Event Comment: Benefit Berry. As Mr Berry has labour'd under an ill state of health for some time, he hopes those Gentlemen and Ladies who used to honour him with their company on this occasion, and whom his indisposition will not permit him to wait on, will excuse his personal application and be pleased to send for tickets to his lodgings, the corner of Crown-Court in Russel St., Covent Garden (Daily Advertiser). Tickets deliver'd out by Woodburn will be taken this night

Event Comment: Today, will be reviv'd an Opera. The Musick compos'd by Mr Handel. With Dances and other Decorations entirely new. Pit and Boxes to be put together; and no Person to be admitted without Tickets, which will be deliver'd this Day at the Office in the Haymarket, at Half a Guinea each. Gallery 5s. 6 p.m. Note. The Subscribers to the Opera are desir'd to send for their Silver Tickets to the Opera-Office in the Hay-Market. [This customary notice will not be included further. According to Loewenberg, Annals of Opera, I, 102, this is the new opera Rossane, Lampugnani's first composition, at the house for which he was the new resident composer. Musicologists have not arrived at the identity of this piece, Burney and Loewenburg attributing it to Lampugnani, Schoelcher and Deutsch to Handel. See Deutsch, Handel, p. 572, where he reviews the evidence.
