COVENT-CARDEN. The long-promised opera of The Marriage •f Figaro was produced on Saturday evening. The iacitleitto of which it is composed, intd the charac ters whose movetnelits a elescsibes, are SO generally known, from the Eiiglish yeraion of Lu Font Jourrafe. of BEAUHARcHAIS, and the Italian opera, II No::e di Moir°, one of MOZART'S finest works, that it is quite unnecessary to describe them with any degree of minuteness. "Ilnineira, a young Nobleman of amorous propensities, tired of his youthful Countess, whom he had married for love, seeks to win the affections of Susanna, her confidential maid, who is on the point of marriage with Figaro, the Coeur's. valet. The plots pro jected by his master to accomplish its dishonour able object, the counter-plots by winch he is de feated, and the embarrassments and jealousies con tinually oecasioued by Cherubim°, a mischievoua page, who feels a tendresse for every pretty woman in the castle, constitute the principal features of the piece, which is, in all its scene'', lively and amusing. We are surprised, that it was nut sooner presented to the public, in the shape of an English opera, the excellence of Mo*saT'a music, which has long been the theme of admiration amongst professors and amateurs, being perfectly well known. A part of that eruistent composer's strains have beeu preserved in the new opera, and we regret that a greater numbered' them were not retained. The whole strength of the vocal department was put forth on this occasion, and great brilliancy of musical talent was displayed in the progress of the opera. The union of the great abilities of Mrs. DlcKoris and Miss STEPHENS, was a most powerful source of attraction. The former lady appeared as the Countess, the latter as Susanna. In our judg ment, the cast ought to have been reversed.— We had the pleasure of seeing Mrs. DICKONS support the character of the arch wasting-maid, when elm was engaged at the Italian opera, and we shall nut hastily forget the pleasant nuirete and lively good-humour which distinguished her acting. Miss STEPHENS'S performance did not possess that buoyancy of spirit, that light and jo cund hilarity, which are the soul and essence of the character. Her general manlier, which is de cidedly pensive, would have harmonized udmirably with the situation of the countess, but was eiititrly at variance with the gaiety of Susanna. Mrs. Dictums represented the character allotted to her with chaste dignity. Her acting, particularly in the scene where she fears the discovery of Chertibino iu the closet, would, for appropriate truth mid variety, under every change of feeling, from apprehension to joy, hate done honour to any actress on the stage. ;he was in grand voice, and rendered her different airs us enchanting as the most perfect combination of highly-cultivated taste, exquisite judgment. and beautiful expression, could make them. Iler tirst air, which was rapturously encored, olelightrd every heart by its delicate yet powerful melody. She executed her second song with equal felicity of expression, and was honoured with the value pain ful mark of approbation. tier bravura in the third act Nos all astonishing elfin of science, guided and bounded by the dictates of a pure judgment. With the singing of Miss STEPHENS, the most fas tidious critic would be relished. She executed, with delicious simplicity, the airs of Susanna. Her first air, which is a gay and agreeable movement, was exquisitely warbled, and commended ass encore. Tit• duelto between lies and Mrs. Dtcguns was one of the richest musical treats we have recently ens joyed. These two ladies, lutl uenced doubtless by that generous emulation which is ever the concomitant of tree genius, as envy is the compatriot) of less exalted talents, exerted their fittest powers, and enraptured the audience. Mr. JONES, whose per sonation of Cuunt illosispiets we have frequently admired for elastic vivacity, never performed with greater vigour or a higher degree of spirit. Miss BEAU3;ONT appeared as Cherubiao. e never Lir held a prettier Page, and could not LIVOId ap plying to her the compliments which, in the Italian opera, Susanna says to Cherabina— Clue furba guardatiora (lie nisi), cte titan'!"
