NORWICH MUSICAL FESTIVAL.

NORWICH, SEPT. 23.—Last night, the third miscel-
laneous concert attracted a very large and brilliant as-
semblage in the hall. The body of the hall was quite
tilled, and the gallery seats were nearly all occupied. The
programme included—Mozart's Symphony in E flat;
the Duetto " All' opra as la man mettiamo," Fidelio,
sung by Madame Viardot Garcia and Herr Formes;
Donizetti's Aria, " Fra poco a to"—Mr. Sims Reeves ; a
part song, " The Wreath," by Benedict, which was en-
cored; Cherubini's Overture, " Faniski;" and " La cale-
sera," an Aria Espanola, sung by Madame Fiorentini,
also encored. After the overture at the commencement
of the concert, an air by G. A. Oilactarren was sung by
Mr. Sims Reeves, as a tribute of respect to the memory
of the late Duke of Wellington.
Mr. Sims Reeves sung this ballad in a manner that
elicited unbounded applause. All the performances were
well received, and several pieces were encored. The
concluding grand march drew loud applause.
This morning the performance of the Messiah
drew an unprecedented audience. The hall was com-
pletely crowded; numbers stood under the galleries and
in the passages. The peformance was perfect. The
choruses went with the utmost precision; and the re-
citatives, airs, duets, and quintets were most
effectively rendered by Signor Gardoni, Signor Beletti,
Miss Dolby, Herr Formes, Miss Pyne, Mr. Lockey, Mr.
Sims Reeves, Mr. Weiss, Madame Viardot Garcia, and
Miss Alleyne.
The statement which follows shows the comparative
total attendance at the last three Festivals, and exhibits
the unpleasing fact of a diminution of public patronage:
1845. 1848. 1852.
