MUSIC.
HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE.
The " Barbiere di Siviglia " was perfbemed last
evening, with Mane. Alboni in the character of
Balboa. This is the part in which she had the great-
set *access at the other house, and there is no other,
we think, in which she appears to so much advan-
tage. It is entirely suited to her disposition and
qualities as an actress. She cannot be impassioned,
grand, or noble ; but she has a most pleasing vein of
light and graceful comedy. She makes Resina exactly
what the character ought to be ; full of gaiety and arch-
ness, naive and simple, bat quick-witted and spirited,
and without the slightest tinge of indelicacy or coarse-
ness. Her comely features, though not powerful,
have the animated expression which such a part de-
mands.
mends. In her performance of the music she excels
every other representative of the character that ws
have ever heard. It is precisely adapted to the
quality and compass of her most lovely voice. It is
impossible to imagine anything more exquisite these
