Covent Garden Theatre
Interior of the theater with the stage at right, and half the orchestra and pit visible, as well as three tiers of boxes and the lowest gallery. A performance is in progress on the stage with a man in Roman costume and woman in modern dress, the latter singing to the consternation of the audience. George III and Queen Charlotte are seated in the royal box.
