In announcing the present, the Sixih Season of the Royal Italian
Ope a, the Dtrect-rs feel it almost unnecessary to repeat their
assurances, or to reiterate their pledges of former seasons, es to the
future conduct of this great Lyrical Establishment : hopinz that the
manner in which they h tvo hitherto conducted it will be accepted
by their Patrons as tue best guarantee for Its future management.
During the extraordinary season of the past year, the Audiences
of the Royal It -dim Opera numbered among them some of the most
eminent Musical Profess,rs and Amabititrs of Europe, many of
whom were intimately acquainted with the great Lyrical Theatres
of Italy, France, and Germany ; and it mast be a matter of pride
and gratification to the English Public, as well as to the Directors
hemselyeia, 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 seem that not only have the most distinguished
Artistes) oflast season been re-engaged, but that others now occu-
pying the highest positions in the Coatinental Theatres have been
added to the Establishment. The Orchestra and Chorus have re-
ceived several important additions; and it will also be Muni 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 considerahle 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.
