Performance List
Mainpiece
Title:
Le Speranze Della Terra
Comments:
The Music performed not only by the Opera singers and the usual orchestra, but also by a very considerable number of vocal and instrumental performers (all Englishmen) who will be divided into two bands: one in the usual place, and the other in the upper gallery. The Dances, Scenes, Illuminations, Dresses and other Decorations (the whole new) will be made to correspond as much as possible, with the solemnity of the drama.
