THE PYNE AND HARRISON COMPANY
AT THE THEATRE ROYAL.

This evening, "Lurline," Mr. Wallace's new opera,
will be-performelk-and a crowded house will listen to
it, ,for nearly every seat was taken on Saturday. It will
be repeated on Thursday; and, for that evening also,
nearly every seat in the dress circle is secured for those
who are allured either bl curiosity or the popularity of
the composer, on the favourable reports from L0nd041.4
the individual work. In order to do our best to facili-
tate the appreciation of Lurline, we give, beforehand, an
outline of the plot, as furnished by tha management :7-

Count Ridolpl4, an extravagant young German, resid-
ing in an antique castle on the banks of the Rhine, having
dissipated his patrimony among
,his graceless followers,
proposes marriage with Ohiva, the daughter of a neigh.:
bouring baron; thinking thereby to replenish his coffers.
The young lady's father; however, is nearly as po6r as
the Count, and hopes that the union between 041:t?a and
this young nobletnan will the better enable-him to sup-
port his own estate. An explanation soon puts an end
to the treaty, 444 the hand of the suitor is rejected.

Previously to tivie ront•ora T '..cline the Nvmnh of the
Rhine, who, by her enchanted harp and song, lures
vessels to destruction in the whirlpool of the river, has
seen Count Rudolph in his barque, and fallen desperately
in love with him. Accordingly she presents herself'to
the Count at a wild banquet (the last that he and his
companions have determined to hold in the old castle),
and, surrounding him by spells, places a magic' ring on
his finger, and disappears. On recovering his reason,
the Coma has become enamoured of the beautiful Water
Queen; the notes of her bewildering vOice" and harp at,
tract him to the Rhine ; he embarks, despite all inter-
ferenee, is engulphed, and supposed to perish.

, ACT IC , •
OpOIAS in the coral caves, under the waters, inhabited
by Lucline and her nymphs, in which, by 'Virtue of the
talismanic ring, Rudolph is enabled to exist. His fol-
lowers are seen in a boat, singing a requiem for the loss
of their chief, by which he is so affected that he urgently
desires to return to them for a short time. Lurline con-
sents to his,departure for three days, and agrees to await
his return on the summit of Lurlei-Berg, at the rising of
the moon on the third evening, To augment his hap-
piness, she prevails on her father, the Rhine King, to
grant him a cargo of wealth, with which he embarks in
a fairy skiff, leaving Lurline in dread of the non-fulfil-
ment of 14 pralui&o.
