Event Information
Theatre: Covent Garden
Theatrical Season: 1734-1735
Volume: 3
Comments: As 5 March. old Whig, 20 March: In the flourishing State of this Opera [Artaxerxes], 'tis no Wonder that the other Theatres decline. Handel, whose excellent Compositions have often pleased our Ears, and touched our Hearts, has this Winter sometimes performed to an almost empty Pitt. He has lately reviv'd his fine Oratorio of Esther, in which he has introduced two Concerto's on the Organ that are inimitable. But so strong is the Disgust taken against him, that even this has been far from bringing him crowded Audiences; tho' there were no other publick Entertainments on those Evenings
