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. We are making this change in order to free up computational resources for new features and data, currently in development with support from the National Endowment for the Humanities. Watch this space for more updates and, coming soon, new ways to keep up with the latest project developments!

Event Comment: By Command of Their Majesties. 2nd Ballet: With entire new Scenes, Dresses, Machinery, &c. [Synopsis of action (H. Reynell, 1791); music by Mazzinghi.] "The machinery in this Ballet is highly deserving of praise. Calypso's Grottov, which is formed by the wings and a flat scene rising suddenly from the earth, had a surprising effect. The Mechanism by which this change is produced, we apprehend, is wholly new in this country" (Morning Post, 21 Mar.)
