One of the highlights of the production was reportedly the Grand Transformation Scene. Titled 'Cupid and Psyche' it was played out as 1. The Birth of Cupid; 2. Psyche Carried Away by Zephyrna; 3. and Wedded to Cupid; 4. Her Journey through Hades; and 4. The Reunion of the Lovers Cupid and Psyche. The final scene was played out against a grand view of Sydney Harbour painted by George Gordon. The Grand Processional Ballet also drew praise from the critics. Entitled 'Ye Spirits of Ancient Pantomime,' the ballet had been imported in its entirety from London, where it had apparently been 'the sensation of last year' (Sydney Morning Herald 24 December 1890, p.2).
