Michael Kelly in Drury Lane - 1798
from Reminiscences of Michael Kelly, page 142:
The next musical piece I produced at Drury Lane was in conjunction with Mr.
Dusseck, the celebrated piano-forte player ; he composed the serious part of it,
I the comic. What he did, was masterly and effective. The piece was entitled, "The Captive of Spilburg;" the story from the French piece, "Camille ; ou, le
Souterrain;" it was ably managed by Prince Hoare, and had a run of seventeen
nights.
