ROYAL ITALIAN OPERA, COVENT- ;
GARDEN. —M' dame GRISI.
The Directors of the Royal Italian Opera feel the greatest gratifi-
cation in having It in their power to announce that that most distin-
guished artiste, Mine. Giulia Grisi, will again app ar, for a short
period, on the stage of the Lyric Drama. The Directors fin.iing
that circumstances had arisen to prevent Mme. Grisi retiring to her
residence at Florence, as contemplated a the termination f her
late engagement in the United States of America, af.d, moreover,
that she wouli most probably reside in England the greater portion
of the present year, naturally sought to induce her once more
to join the corps of the Roy al Italian Opera, and were in the
hope of being able to have announced their success in the pro-
spectus em their season arrangements. The Directors were, how-
ever, unable to prexail on Mme. Grisi to enter into the engagement.
and immediately made propositions to another distinguished artiste
to undertake the repertoire which Madame Grist has SO long
and so honourably filled. The Directors not having succeeded
its these negotiations, again applied to Mme. Grist to postpone for
a short period her final retirement from the stage. Under these
circumstances, Mme. Grist, with her accustomed kindness, con-
sented to lend the Directors her invaluable assistance, and they are
now, therefore, enabled to announce that she will sing, during an
engagement of tan nights, the principal characters of her well-known
repertoire.
