Event Comment: A new Serious Opera [1st time; SER 2, librettist unknown; a pasticcio]; the Music by Tarchi [who wrote Rubinelli's part, and by Anfossi, Cherubini, Piccinni]. "Rubinelli is a musician of the first class . . . His voice and his science, though both pre-eminent, are never forced forward beyond their proper rank, which, in a musician, is the rank of subserviency to the feelings. The musician that is not felt is no musician" (Public Advertiser, 6 May)

Mainpiece Title: Virginia

Performance Comment: Announced, but not performed. "On Saturday night the opera was that King's scene of confusion and distress that no serious opera, with all its cantabile faintings, rapes, battles and murders ever produced. On the drawing up of the curtain it was not a Roman legion in marshal array that caught the eye. No, it was a corps of the sons of the feather and fashion—British bucks—British beaus . . . Off! Off! was the cry from every part of the house. To this admonishing shout they were all Atlases ... By no efforts could the opera be put in train. The manager and his friends exerted themselves in vain to appease the fury ... This scene of tumult and disorder continued for upwards of three hours and a half, when the audience retreated, some discontented, and others more pleased than ever they were at a regular entertainment" (Morning Herald, 15 May) .

Event Comment: [Afterpiece in place of Daphne and Amintor, announced on playbill of 6 June.] Windham Diary (7 June 1786), p. 79: Mrs Siddons did 'Rosalind' much better than the first time, but not equal to her tragedy: there is a want of hilarity in it; it is just, but not easy. The highest praise that can be given to her comedy is, that it is the perfection of art; but her tragedy is the perfection of nature. Receipts: #219 16s. 6d. (192/1/0; 26/2/6; 1/13/0)
