MUSIC.

ROYAL ITALIAN OPERA.

A new tenor singer, M. Lefranc (not announced
in Mr. Gye's prospectus of the season), made big first ep.
poaranee here on Tuesday night as Arnaldo, in Gnalielono
Tell, which was given after an interval of three years.
This crowning work of Rossini's genius, produced at
Paris in 1829, is sufficient justification for the great
master's after Wanes. The composer of Ii BarbVrr, La
Qua Ladra, Cenerentola, and other inch works, had
abundantly proved the possession of a rich vein of melodic
beauty, brilliant impulsive genius, and constructive siill ;
but for the picturesque, the tragic or heroic, or any deeply
emotional style, neither his Tancredi, Donna del
Logo, his Otello, or his Setairamide revealed
much special power. With the last-named work
Rossini's Italian career terminated, is Ifft3 ; and
six years later his Tell proved him a complier
possessed of high dramatic faculties and poetical imagina-
tion, in this instance thoroughly manifested, and probably
not to have been again approached by the same band.
Through all changer of taste Guillaume Tell mast ever re-
main, while dramatic musical art and genies are appre-
ciated, an example of the highest order of both. The dis-
tinct colouring of the music, so especially identifying it
with its some and subject—the heroic elevation of Tell
and Arnold ; the imperious energy of Geissler ; and the
exquisite grace and refinement, and tender pathos, of the
PrincessrMathilde ; are all reflected in a work the power
and beauty of which could only eman►te from column-
mate art and genius. In grand concerted effects, too, in
music of combination, scarcely anything in the whole
range of opera transcends the great scene of the meeting
of the cantons.

The work is admirably given, both in its inimical
and stage details. It is to be regretted tint the
late hour of eonirnenocment now fixed by custom
should render necessary such large retrenchments
in the music, merry of the pieces being so abridged u
largely to injure those proportions and that balance which
they possess in their original shape, as constructed by the
great composer. The alterations, too, at the close of the
opera are by no means improvements.
