• ensemble of Royal Infantry Regiment of Archduke Sigismund: participating ensemble

This event sought to attract Prague society to three separate entertainments: a performance by a society of folk singers; music given by the regimental ensemble of the Royal Infantry Regiment of Archduke Sigismund; a firework display staged by the pyrotechnician Mr Hüber. An advertisement published by Prager Morgenpost 5/7/1863 announced: ‘Rohan Island. Today great Triple-Amusement [Trippel-Amusement] with the participation of the Regimental Ensemble of the worthy Royal Infantry Regiment Archduke Sigismund, of the Folk Singer Society [Volsängergesellschaft] Breit and Trini, and of the pyrotechnician Mr Hueber. To close Fireworks. Commencing 4 o’clock. All details given on the bill poster.’

The company of singers was not a local ensemble but almost certainly represented a travelling group that was then visiting the city.
