WXDA Record #635
No title.
1 July 1786
Summary
Sestini's "appearance in Signior Arionelli is so outre, so unlike any thing human". She will hopefully "resign the part, and not injure her professional reputation, and the honour and dignity of her sex, by repeating an exhibition so very ludicrous and indelicate." [Arionelli is a male role in John O'Keefe's comic opera The Son-In-Law.]
