ROYAL ITALIAN OPERA,
COVENT•GARD ,
The DIRECTORS of the ROYAL ITALIAN OPERA beg most
respectfully to inform the Nobility, Gentry, Subscribers, and the
Public, that

TO-MORROW EVENING, March 30,
will be performed (for the second time these tour years) Donitetti's
Opera,

MARIA DI ROHAN.
The principal characters by Madame Castellan, Madlie. Seguin
(her second appearance in England), Signor ROriColll, Signor Poloninl,
Signor Soldi, and Signor Tamberilk.
In the first act a Divertissement will be given, in which Madlie.
Brunei, Madlles. Lehlona, Helene Beilottl, Louise Bedotti, ICo-
lsmbrg; Messieurs Alexandre and Millard, and Madlle. Robert,
wil appear.
In announcing the present, the Sixth Season of the Royal Italian
Opera, the Directors feel it almost unnecessary to repeat their
assurances, or to reiterate their pledges of former seasons, as to the
future conduct of this great Lyrical Establishment : hoist's.; that the
manner in which they have hitherto conducted It will be accepted
by their Patrons as the best guarantee for its future management.
During the extraordinary season of the past year, the Audiences
of the Royal Italian Opera numbered among them some of the most
eminent Musical Professors and Amateurs of Europe, many of
whom were intimately acquainted with the great Lyrical Theatres
of Italy, France, and Germany ; and it must be a matter of pride
and gratification to the English Public, as well as to the Directors
hemselves, to know that the Royal Italian Opera (both as regards
the extraordinary talent of its individual Artistes, as well as its
general completeness and perfection as a whole) was pronounced by
these distinguished persons to stand unrivalled among its European
competitors.
By the following outline of the arrangements for the Present
Season it will be seen that not only have the most distinguished
Artistes of last season been re-engaged, but that others now occu-
pying the highest positions in the Continental Theatres have been
added to the Establishment. The Orchestra and Chorus have re-
ceived several important additions ; and it will also be loan I that
in the department of the Ballet (which will still be limited to short
Divertissements, and to those Dances incidental to the Operas), a
very cunsiderahle augmentation in the personnel has taken place.
In fact, extensive as the Company of the Royal Italian Opera hi-
therto has been, the assemblage of Artistes this year will be found
to surpass that of any former season.
The Repertoire of the Royal Italian Opera now consists of
THIRTY-SIX OPERAS. each of which is complete in Scenery, Cos-
tumes, and Appointments.
