After revivals of Tamerlano and Admeto, Handel brought out Ezio on January 15, 1732; it had only five performances.
I was concerned to know what had become of that prince of rascals, Jacques Haret. At last I heard of him, and to my great satisfaction.

Great efforts were made directly after the Restoration to bring the building into a decent state once more.
