The Drama of Masrizuoxx Tazarez at Sadler's Wells
A review traces John Barnett’s operatic works including Masrizuoxx Tazarez and The Mountain Sylph, praising melodic invention yet noting mixed fortunes of Fair Rosamond and Farinelli. It laments Barnett’s absence from the English stage and imagines a future English opera by him, while praising Mrs. Fitzwilliam and Buckstone in performance. Wisps on Windsor Castle entertainments describe the royal theater setup in the Rubens room for a temporary proscenium showing under Kean.
