Event Comment: Mainpiece: a new Farce of Two Acts. [Author not known. Apparently not printed.]Afterpiece: (by a Company of Singers just imported) A new Musical Burlesque of two Acts, in a Grand Oratorio. [By
Henry Carey.] The Musical Connoisseurs are desir'd do take Notice, that the Company keeps up strictly to the
Italian Taste, the Notes being full of Grandeur and Harmony, and the Words full of low Nonsense; and as a further Indication of his Attachment, it is so contriv'd, that two powerful Parties are already form'd to support the two beautiful Rivals,
Mauxalinda and
Margeria; but which of them will carry their Point, Time alone must determine. It will be deem'd a lasting Obligation to any Chronologer, in what University soever presiding, if he will communicate the precise Century
Moore of Moore-Hall liv'd in, so that the Hero may be dress'd in Character; but if the Recherche should prove too laborious, it is resolv'd he shall come as near the Figure of the Divine
Farinello as possible. N.B.
The Dragon was intended to have charm'd the City at
Stationer's Hall; but from a Punctilio very common to Singers, he insisted on exerting his Musical Faculty at the
Hay-Market. Admission: 5s., 3s., 2s. 7 p.m
Performances
