The Drama at Old Drury and Haymarket Theatre
A detailed review of Drury Lane and Haymarket performances highlights the German opera company led by M. Jullien, the success of Der Freischutz with Madame Stoeckel Heinefetter, Haitzinger, and Madame Schumann, and Fidelio with Stockel Heinefetter. The season at Haymarket ends with The Rivals and Speed the Plough as manager Webster bows out, with plans for reopening on Easter Monday under renewed talent and the Kean appearance in May. Balfe's Keolanthe earns high praise for melody and performance, while the Dignen-Theatrical Fund festival preparations include royal patronage and generous donors.
