01 May 1750 @ The Chapel at the Foundling's Hospital, or at the Lock Hospital, Hyde Park Corner

Event Comment: To begin at Twelve noon. The Gentlemen are desired to come without swords and the Ladies without hoops (Deutsch, Handel, p. 688). The seating capacity of the Hospital was 1,000. There was a tremendous crush and confusion...a number of distinguished people drove up at the last moment, many without tickets, and found it impossible to gain admission (R. H. Nichols and F. A. Wray, History of the Foundling Hospital (London 1935), p. 202). Handel offered to give a repeat performance to accomodate those disappointed. [See 15 May.
