respectfully to inform the Nobility, Gentry, Subscribers, and the
Public, that the Season of 1852 will commence on
SAI'LRDAT NEXT, March 27,
On which occasion will be performed (for the first time these four
Years) DonizettPs Opera,

iemberg; Messieurs Ale Sandra and Minard, and Madlle. Robert,

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
fliture conduct of this great Lyrical Establishment : hoping 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 AmatMe of Europe, of
whom were intimately acquainted with the great Lyrical Tea tres
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
hemseives,
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 persona to stand unrivalled among its European
competitors.
By the following outline of tae 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 Choru. l,ave re-
ceived several important additions ; and it will also he naiad 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 considerable engin entation in the personnel has taken place.
In fact, extensive as the Company of the Royal It.:lian Opera hi-
therto has been, the assemblage of Artistes this year will be tound
to surpass that of any former season.
The Repertoire of the Royal Ranee Opera now consists of
THIRTY-SIX OPERAS, each of which is complete In Scsnery,Cott-
tames, and Appointments.
