Comments:
It is not certain what work this is. Boswell, Restoration Court Stage, pp. 111-12, doubts W. J. Lawrence's suggestion that it was Ariadne, which seems not to have been produced until 30 March 1674. It is possible, but perhaps not likely, that it is the Ballet et Musique which is herein assigned to early February 1674
