Comments:
Mainpiece: An English Opera [from Rolt's The Royal Shepherd]. Never perform'd there. The Music selected from the best composers, and adapted by Tenducci. Books of Opera to be had at theatre. [Argument from Edition of 1769: Among the most celebrated actions ascribed to Alexander the Great, may be well ranked that of delivering the Kingdom of Sidon from the tyrant Strato; and instead of taking the dominion himself, restoring the crown to the next lawful heir, who, ignorant of his pretensions to it, lived as a shepherd in the country near Sidon, of which a more particular account may be found in Quintus Curtius, Book IV, Chap. 10. The superstructure of the fable raised on this historical foundation, will be seen in the course of the drama." The Plot sketched out in a review in the Freeholder's Magazine, Dec.] Receipts: #137 14s
