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
