HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE
THE OPERA SEASON, 1801, WILL COIIMENCE
ON SATURDAY, APRIL 9.
Ip offering the Prospectus of the ensuing Season to the
fmnsideration of the patrons of Her Majesty's Theatre, Mr.
31/IPLESON, encouraged by former successes, anticipates
with confidence that the arrangements ho has been enabled
to conclude will be accepted as evidence of an earnest wish
'on his part to merit a continuance of the liberal support
and kind approval with which his efforts have hitherto been
rewarded.
On entering upon the arduous undertaking of restoring
ner Majesty's Theatre to its former rank as the first ope-
ratic establishment in Europe, Mr. Mapleson's ex'rtions
'were naturally directed to extending and completing its
Purely musical resources, and raising their character and
efficiency to the highest requirements of modern taste and
knowledge. The essential features of a lyrical theatre
having been thus secured, a more than ordinary share of
attention can be bestowed on the subordinate though (in
the present day) important and multifarious element of mise
en scene. In announcing that the exclusive services of Mr.
Telbin have been retained, it may be assumed that, under
the direction of that highly experienced artist, the scenery
at Her Majesty's Theatre will in future equal all that has
been achieved in that department.
The orchestra, now FO highly appreciated, has been
numerically reinforced, and its direction again confided to
Signor Arditti, whose recognised talent and untiring zeal
have raised the performanoes at Her Majesty's Theatre to
their present high standard.
The chorus has been strengthened by important addi-
tions, and is now almost entirely composed of singers from
the Teatro Itegio (Turin) and the LiC6O ("twin). Chorus
master, Signor Chiaromonte.
A. new organ is being erected by the eminent firm of Gray
and Davidson.
Several important works of great continental repute,
the titles of which are included in the prospectus, will be
produced in the most careful, complete, and efficient man-
ner.

In addition to the names of the established favourites of
last season will be found those of other artists of European
celebrity, who will have the honour of appearing, tor the
first time in this country, before the patrons of Her Ma.

LA. FORZ A DEL DESTINO.
Music by VERDI.
The Orchestral Score, Parts, and right of representation
of Signor Verdi's last great Work were secured in 1863 ;
but it having been deemed necessary to make certain moth•
fications in the dramatic denouement, Signor Verdi has
kindly undertaken the task, and also to superintend the pro-
duction of the Opera.
LE DONNE ALLEGRE DI WINDSOR.
OTTORY NICOLA'.
This Opera, which has made the round of Germany, and
c9rabines the German, French, and Italian styles in a pecu-
liarly freeh and happy manner, has everywhere become
Popular. Its composer was considered, during his lifetime,
the greatest orchestral conductor in the Austrian domi-
nions. He composed several dramatic works. but the
" piMece.rry e Wives of Windsor" is regarded as his master-

TANNHAt SER,
The most celebrated dramatic composition of Herr
Richard Wagner, whose merits have been a topic of dis-
cussion throughout Europe for the last 16 years, The
romantic story of Tannhauser, founded upon one of the
most ancient and picturesque of the Thuringian legends,
has made this Opera popular even with the most stanch
MMopponents of what is styled " the music of the future."
usicians, however, are unanimous in pronouncing it the
nlasterpiece of its composer, and the Director of her
Majesty's Theatre thinks that the production of a work
representing more forcibly than any other a school of
dramatic music, which, though it has engaged attention
and invited controversy for nearly a quartr of a century,
18 still
comparatively unknown in this country, will afford
gratifi
cation to the patrons of her Majesty's Theatre.

With Madlle. Titiens as Leonora—the character which esta-
