The poster states that this performance is for the benefit of the Fund for the Relief of the Distressed Irish and Scotch, and 'in the course of the evening will be sung a lyrical ode written and composed expressly for the occasion'. Paul Taglioni choreographed 'Coralia' to music by Cesare Pugni, with scenery by Charles Marshall, the appointments by Edmund Bradwell, and costumes by Miss Bradley and Mr Whales under the superintendance of Mademoiselle Copére. |
