Event Comment: Benefit for
Mme Rose.
The Opera [will be performed] instead of
Antigona, already announced in
the papers of yesterday, it having been found impossible to get ready
the machinery of
the new Ballet after
the performance of
the Serious Opera. Mme Rose having been presented with an Engraving Ticket for her night, she proposes to give one with each Ticket, separately from
the Ticket which will be admitted at
the door.
The Nobility and Gentry are respectfully entreated not be on that part of
the stage where
the mountain stands, as
the machinery of
the Ballet will be attended with danger. Tickets to be had of Mme Rose, No. 9,
Hay-market. "
The most bewitching dance we ever witnessed, for novelty of idea, charm of fancy, and delicacy of passion was performed last night. Not content with
the common praise,
the audience called forward
the author, Didelot, and paid to him
the tribute due to original and inventive talents.
The ballet was entitled
L'Amour Vange.
The invention, which was perfectly new, was that of bands of
Cupidsv floating in air-suspended seemingly on
their own wings, without
the intervention of any grosser medium" (
