She was a favourite of James PlanchC), Charles Dickens and Madame Vestris and was known for her agile dancing and clear contralto singing voice. The historian Paul Buczkowski wrote of her, "Horton brought a lively intelligence to her roles, and was almost as highly lauded in tragedy (for instance, as Ophelia in Hamlet and the Fool in King Lear) as in comedy. She would appear in most of PlanchC)'s later works, substantially enriching them." From 1840 to 1847, Horton joined Benjamin Nottingham Webster's company at the Haymarket Theatre, where she first played Ophelia in 1840. The Athenaeum wrote: "The only striking novelty in the performance is the Ophelia of Miss P. Horton, which approaches very nearly to the wild pathos of the original in one scene, and is touching and beautiful in all." The same year, she created the role of Georgina Vesey in Edward Bulwer-Lytton's Money. In 1842, she sang the role of Acis in Handel's Acis and Galatea. At the Haymarket Theatre from 1843b47, she appeared in many of her PlanchC) Christmas and Easter pieces. During these years, she also appeared at the Theatre Royal, Drury Lane as Philidel in Henry Purcell's opera King Arthur (1842) and created the girl/boy roles of Myrtina/Fortunio in PlanchC)'s Fortunio and his Seven Gifted Servan ------------------------------ End of alt.music.moxy-fruvous digest V14 #5810 **********************************************
