The London Stage Database team will be retiring the Legacy Search on May 1, 2025. Please take a moment before that date to reproduce any pre-2021 searches and export any resulting datasets you may wish to preserve for future use.

31 December 1791 @ Pantheon, Oxford Street

Event Comment: "On 31st Dec. I was with Pleyel in the Pantheon Theatre. They gave La Pastorella Nobile by Guglielmi. Mad. Casentini played the leading role and Lazarini? the primo huomo; the thin Calvesi had l'ultima parte. The opera did not please. Neither did the ballet, even though the great Hilligsburg [sic] danced" (Haydn, 266)
