ROYAL ITALIAN OPERA, COVENT-
GARDEN.—Madame GRISI.
The Directors of the Royal Italian Opera feel the greatest gratifi-
cation in having it In their power to announce that that most distill-
'gulshed artiste, Mme. Giulia Grisi, will again app-ar, for a short
pert,d, on the stags of the Lyric Drama. The Directors doling
that circumstances had arisen to prevent Mine. Grisi retiring to her
residence at Florence, cont •mplatecl a' the termination 4 f her
late engagement in the United States of America, and, moreover,
that she wonti most probably reside in England the greater portion
of the ,resent ) ear, nature), sought to induce her once more
to pm the corps of the Royal Italian Opera, and were in the
Dope of being able to have announced their success in the pro-
gpectias of their season arrangements. The Directors were, how-
ever, unable to prevail on Mme. Grisi to enter into the engagement,
and immediately made propositions to another distinguished artiste
to undertake the repertoire which Madame Grisi has so long
and so honourably filled. The Directors not having succeeded
in these negotiations, again applied to Mme. Grisi to postpone Par
a short period her final retirement from the stage. Under these
circumstances, Mme. Grisi, with her accustomed kindness, con-
sented to lend the Directors her invaluable assistance, and they axe
now, therefore, enabled to announce that she will sing, during an
engagement of ten nights, the principal characters of her well-known.
