Summary:

Haydn's first visit to England began on New Year's Day, 1791, the event celebrated in undistinguished English verse in the popular press. Salomon had arranged a series of twelve subscription concerts, to be held in the Hanover Square Rooms. The first took place, after various postponements, on 11 March, and included a new Grand Overtureby Haydn</i>, probably the Symphony No. 96</i>, which was certainly played during the earlier part of the season. Its nickname, 'The Miracle', came about, it is said, because of the miraculous escape of a number of members of the audience who moved forward to see Haydn when he appeared, thus avoiding being crushed by a falling chandelier
