ROYAL ITALIAN OPERA,
COVENT G kRD N.
l'lte DIRECTORS of the ROYAL I I'ALIAN OPERA beg most
re.spee fully to imorm the Nobbity, Gentry. subscribers, and the
Public, that the Season of I tiee w 11 commence on
SATURDAY NEXT, March 27.
On which occasion will be performed (fur the first time these four
years) Dunizetti's Opera,
MARIA DI ROWS.
The principal characters by Madame Castellan, Madile. Seguin
(her first appearance in England), Signor Ronconi, Signor Polonini,
Signor Soldi, and Signor Tamberiik.
In the erst act a Divertissement will be given. In which Madge.
Brussi, Madlles. Lehlon,,, Helene Bellorti. Louise Bellotl, Ko-
lernoere Messieurs Alexandre and 31inard, aid 31adlle. Robert,
veil appear.
In announcing the present, the Sixih Season of the Royal Italian
One• a, 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 : hoping that the
manner in which they have hitt erto conoucten it will be accepted
by their Patrons as the best guarantee for its future mangement.
During the extraordinary season of the past year, ucUences
of the Royal It li at Opera numbered among them some of the most
eminent Musical PrOieSBurS 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 graeficarion to the English Public, as well as to the Directors
hetn,elTes,, to know that the Royal Italian Opera (both as rega ds
the extraordinary talent of its individual Artis.es, as well as its
general completeness and perfection a.. a whole) was pronounced by
these d.stinguished persons to starts unrivalled among its European
competitors.
By the following outline of the arrangements fir the Present
Stasbn it .111 be seen that not only have the most distinguished
Artiste, oflast season been re-engaged, but that others now occu-
pying the highest positions in the Co ti ental Theatres have been
addeei no the Estabdshment. The Orcnestra and Chorus have re-
ceived several ,mportant aad Mons ; and it will also be founl that
ie the department of the Ballet (which will still be dmited to short
Divertis.ements, and to tho;e Dances Lucid, ntal to the Opel as), a
very consi era le augmentation in the personnel has taken place.
In fact, exteavive as the Company of the Royal Hellen Opera hi-
therto has been, t e assernhage of Artistes this year will be found
to surpass that of any f rmer season.
The Repertoire of the Royal Italian Opera now consists of
THIRTY-SIX OPE KAS. each of which is complete in Scenery, Cos-
tumes. aril A ppointearnts.
