Event Comment: By Command of
their Majesties.
The great concourse of people at this
theatre before
the usual time of opening
the doors, having been so great as to overpower
the persons who were placed to receive
the tickets; and as many were forced into
the Theatre without an opportunity of paying for
their admittance,
Mr Giardini is under
the greatest concern lest offence should be taken by those not being able to get in, who had sent for tickets to this office. He has given orders that those tickets shall be admitted tomorrow, as
the opera of
Siroe (by particular desire) is to be performed (
Public Advertiser, 23 Jan.). [Pickpockets, including one former soldier, took three diamond earrings, and one hair-ornament set with brilliants, from members of
the audience on this night (
Daily Advertiser). Found, a new Silver Sword in
the Opera House Lobby on S. 21 Jan.;
the Owner, by describing
the Sword-Knot, may, on applying to
the Orange-Woman at
the House, have it restored (
Daily Advertiser, 24 Jan.).] Lost on going to
the Opera a Brilliant Diamond Cross composed of nine brilliants, by
Lord Conyngham. Reward of 10 Guineas for Return (
Public Advertiser, 23 Jan.)
