To Mrs. Trevor's box in the great opera house, which after Naples and Milan did not strike me much. Both the opera and ballets were by far the grandest and best-dressed I have anywhere seen. In the ballet not less than 200 people appeared, all superbly dressed, and 36 horses in two troops, differently caparisoned and well arranged. After an attack of the cavalry and a long engagement of the infantry, they all joined in a triumphal procession, in which the general appeared in a quadriger, drawn by four handsome brown horses, who performed their parts to admiration. |
