ROYAL ITALIAN OPERA,
16 COVENT-GARDEN.
M. JULLIEN has theAL honour toQU announce that a Grand
B MASQUE
will take place on FRI DAY, FEBRUARY 2nd, 1853, which will
be the first ever given at the Royal Italian Opera, and positively
the last this season, and terminate the Concerts.
It is now several years since M. Jullien had the honour of in-
troducing the above kind of entertainment in England, and it
has afforded him the greatest satisfaction to observe, from year
to year, that they have unvaryingly increased in favour and
popularity. It is not the Ball-room alone which has exhibited
this increase, but those portions of the Theatre set apart for the
convenience of Spectators have, at the same time, been entirely
thronged with visitors. This unremitting patronage is a sure
evidence of the immense attraction of these Entertainments,
and, of course, cannot fail to be a source of great gratification to
M. Jullien, convincing him, as it does, that his efforts to
afford amusement to all classes have not been made in vain.
The approaching Bal Masque, the first ever given at the Royal
Italian Opera, will, however, afford an opportunity of producing
en entertainment surpassing in grandeur and brilliancy all
former Balls—the vast area of that beautiful Theatre giving
facilities possessed by no other locality. M. Jullien therefore
believes that, without entering into detail, he may safely state
that the Bal Masque above announced will be one of unrivalled
splendour.
The Orchestra will be considerably enlarged, and consist of
One Hundred and Twenty Musicians. Principal Cornet-a-
Pistons, HERR KCENIG. Conductor, M. JULLIEN.
