ASTLEY’S ROYAL AMPHITHEATRE.
Lessee and Manager……….Mr. WILLIAM COOKE.
Prodigious as was the excitement created by the GREAT EXHIBITION in Hyde Park in 1851, it is fully equalled by that of the new Military Spectacle, the BATTLE OF THE ALMA, which, recording one of England’s brightest victories, nightly attracts its admiring thousands!
EVERY EVENING
A Grand Military Spectacle, in Two Acts, by J. H. STOEGUELER, Esq., called
“THE BATTLE OF THE ALMA!”
Realizing, to the life, this Tremendous Conflict and Glorious Triumph.
The “Times” of the 24th October, in describing this piece, observes that the audience was positively electrified.
THE STAGE and RING form ONE VAST ARENA, upon which upwards of 400 Auxiliaries, in addition to the already Numerous Company and Superb Stud, are employed. Artillery! Baggage Waggons! Cavalry! The Guards! Highlanders! Regiments of the Line! The French Regulars and Zouaves! The Turks! all commingled in one great unity of purpose, afford a vivid representation of the “TERRIBLE MAGNIFICENCE OF WAR.”
