Event Comment: Benefit for Mme Rose. The Opera [will be per
formed] instead of
Antigona, already announced in the papers of yesterday, it having been found impossible to get ready the machinery of the new Ballet after the per
formance of the Serious Opera. Mme Rose having been presented with an Engraving Ticket
for her night, she proposes to give one with each Ticket, separately from the Ticket which will be admitted at the door. The Nobility and Gentry are respectfully entreated not be on that part of the stage where the mountain stands, as the machinery of the Ballet will be attended with danger. Tickets to be had of Mme Rose, No. 9,
Hay-market. "The most bewitching dance we ever witnessed,
for novelty of idea, charm of fancy, and delicacy of passion was per
formed last night. Not content with the common praise, the audience called
forward the author,
Didelot, and paid to him the tribute due to original and inventive talents. The ballet was entitled
L'Amour Vange. The invention, which was perfectly new, was that of bands of
Cupidsv floating in air-suspended seemingly on their own wings, without the intervention of any grosser medium" (
