Commentary:

The regular Prager Morgenpost advertisement for this event (which had taken place on preceding Wednesdays) noted that admission prices were 20kr and 24kr depending upon whether tickets had been bought in advance or purchased at the door. Ladies were admitted free. The production began at 7pm. The Bohemia 20/10/1858 Tageskalender noted only the date, type of event - ‘Dance entertainment’ - and the venue. Earlier issues of Bohemia on 10, 12 and 16/10/1858 suggest that the regularly performing ensemble at these events in the Apollo Hall was Walesch’s Orchestra.
