Mimic opera of Cosi fatillitte wad

with .If fhb enthusiasm which admirable mask,
executed 'ht professors of first-rate talent, &list
ever command from a polite surf fashionable au-
dience. The etseores were very frequent—and, in
no inotanee teas that Mark of distinction iMptoperly
liestogretl.' Mad:tine troDoti, and Signoras Coact
and Moat, sustained their respective character'
with commmmate ability. • Signors Ganda and
NA tot were also perfectly successful.
After the opera, the grand ballet a Tatnertate
et liainset was repeated. It liai been considerably
crostritete:f, since its first representation ; and may
now, with reference to intelligibility of story, to
splendont of scenery and decoration. end to the va-
riety rof talent displayed in ii, be justly placed
amongst the finest entertainments of this class ever
praduced in London. BAP-firer, es Tantertune.
and Madame 511Lsa tr., as Rozona, executed a
pas de dew: in a style enchantingly elegant and ex-
pressive. But, in our npinion, the most striking
and beautiful part of the entertainment was a pas
rle trois performed by Mons. Biel-Ista and Made-
r/110401es MILAN'S total LE BRETON. It ii im-
possible to conceive a more delightful corabini-
tion of the agile and the graceful. Tlie in-
dulgentee t f the audience had, by means .of
hills distributed through the house. been !oh-
cited for Mademoiselle Mtr.exir, on accotint of
indisposition. She, however, exerted herself with
almost as nitich spirit as we ever recollect to have
seen Ler exhibit---stud her twrformance excited the
warmest applause. On this occasion. Madame
GINITTI, recently the principal female dancer
at the opera. St. Petershurgh, made her first
appearance before an English audience. She is
a tall. muscularly-formed woman—with fine dark
eyes. and a strtingly-marked countenance. A
more eccomplislied dancer we have rarely seen.
1,4 her execution of • pus feel. she excited the ad-
miration of the audience by the variety and beauty
of her attitudes, while the strain to which she
moved airs of a grave and sober character, and when
it became lively and animated, the lightness and ve-
locity of her motion were equally the theme of
panels% ric. tier success eras complete. The plau-
dits isf the audience continued for a considerable
time after she had quitted the stage.
The house was exceedingly crowded—an ex-
traordinary circumstance at this period of the year.
