The series would end with a Festival Ball. Also noted was the participation of the ensemble of Wernhardt under the direction of its Kapellmeister L. Jeschko [Ludevít Ješko].

An advertisement for these ‘Tanz-Kränzchen [Dance Garlands] was published in Prager Morgenpost 12/1/1859 and 13/1/1859 and also listed the dates of later events in the series. The text noted admission prices. For the entire series an entry ticket cost 2fl 60kr in new Austrian currency. Admission to a single producion cost 50kr in advance or 70kr at the door. The prices of an advance ticket for the whole series and for tickets available at the door were also published in an advertisement appearing in Prager Morgenpost 20/1/1859.

An advertisement announcing that entrance tickets to this Third Dance Garland could be obtained from the Prague art and music publisher Christoph and Kuhe (formerly Marco Berra), appeared in Morgenpost 26/1/1859 and was repeated the following day. This notice entreated gentlemen to wear black for the production. A brief unsigned report of the production was published in Prager Morgenpost 30/1/1859 remarking that the ‘spirited’ audience at the third Garland was more numerous, the Hall with all its rooms being filled.
