ROYAL OPERA, DRURY-LANE.

••40., •••

The return of Mr. Sims Reeves on Saturday night, after
his late serious indisposition, filled the theatre in every
part. The opera of Lucia di Lanintermoor was well selected
for the rentrz,,e of the great English tenor, as it is princi-
pally to his personation of Edgardo he is indebted for his
operatic reputation. Mr. Reeves was received with
deafening and prolonged cheers on his entrance, and on
two or three occasions in the course of the performance
created a perfect furor by his magnificent singing and the
energy of his acting. Mr. Reeves was in the full command
of his voice, and never used it with greater effect. _ At the
end, when. Mr. Sims Reeves appeared, the enthusiasm was
at its height, and the people seemed as if they would never
cease front cheering. Mr. Reeves was supported, as before,
by Mdlle. Agnes Bury as Lucy, and Mr. Weiss as Henry
Ashton. The lady sang extremely well throughout the
opera. lir. Weils sings with skill and power, and has a
fine bass voice.

ST. JAMES'S THEATRE. -

_- - -
Auber'o: Dkmans de la Couronae, produced here last
night, bars long been one of the most popular in this coun-
try of the, gay and exhilarating class of music to which it
belongs ' • and the verdict that it is among the best speci-
mens of Auber's lighter fancy, is not likely to be discoun-
tenanced- The original representative of Catarina in Paris,
Madame Auna Thillon, was also the original representative
of the part in London. Later we have had Madame
Charton, who during the speculative operatics of Mr.
Mitchell, represented Auber under circumstances the
most agreeable and fascinating. We have now Madame
Marie Cabal, who equals either of her predecessors
in those pleasant qualities of delivery and bewitching
graces of manner upon which the success of music
of this airy and fluent order so materially rests.
The performance last night possessed the greatest in-
terest, as a specimen of bright and skilful vo-
calism. The music written for the heroine of the
Diamans is admirably suited to the voice of Madame
Cabel. It is in the gayest music that she appears to the
most advantage. Her voice, small and thin, is better em-
ployed upon such rhythmical vivacities as " Ah, je veux
briser ma chaine," and the like, than iu passages of a slow
and tender character. Not but that her cantabile singing
is smooth and delicate, as we are made aware of in the re-
citative to tho air "Jo snis femme.," and in other in-
stances ; but the real practical charm of her,voice is in its
flexibility, and the certainty with which it accomplishes
flights of the most fantastic discursiveness. Madame
Cabel fully maintained last night the reputation which
her mechanical facility has won for her in the Pro-
mise of Clapisson, the Fate du Regiment of Donizetti,
and other works. The vocalism of Mille. Girard was
exceedidgly neat and effective. The other personages were
filled in an inferior manner to our former experiences iu
the opera. at this theatre. M. Legrand, who was the Don
Sebastian, is a steady and business-like singer, but has no
prestige either of voice or person. The principal tenor
part, however, is that of Don Henrique, the lover of Ca-
tarina, and this was sustained by M. Caere—With great
zeal, but with small result. The pompbus official, Campo-
Mayor, fell, as a matter of course, to the lot of M. Leroy,
who played the character with more sobriety of style than
is his habit, but with proportionate detriment to his whim-
sicality. M. Grignon was the Rebolledo.
The opera, as a whole, was performed with genuine
French spirit.
Among the fashionablca present were her Royal High-
ness the Duchess of Kent and Princess Nary of Cambridge.
