Comments:
[Writer of letter to Public Advertiser states that it is not fashionable to attend on Tuesdays. On Tuesday, he continues, there were probably not more than twenty subscribers or a hundred who had paid. But the Upper Gallery never fails to do Honour to Opera. If not more than 20 people of Fashion in the House there are at least 300 in Upper Gallery." His suggestion is that reduction of cost to 2s. 6d. would induce whole musical families to attend and ultimately be beneficial for this form of entertainment.
