DRU.RY-LANE-ROY AL OPERA.

On Saturday evening Mozart's If Seraglio was per-
formed at the above theatre for the last time this season.
The production of this great work, which, until the last
few weeks, was almost unknown to the London public,
reflects much credit upon the present management of
Drury-lane Theatre ; for not only is the music of Il Se-
raglio eminently calculated to raise and purify the public
taste, but its execution by Mr. Jarrett's German com-
pany has been most satisfactory. Nobody since Stau-
digl in his best days has personatedthe old Turk, Osmin,
so admirably as Formes ; and more efficient representa-
tives of Constanze and Blonden than Madame Ruders-
dorff and Madlle. Agnes Bury could scarcely be found.
Of the respective merits of these performers, as exem-
plified in the above-named opera, we have already spoken
in detail ; but the cast of Saturday evening included a
novelty which it were unjust not to notice. This was
the delineation of Belmonte for the first time by Herr
Reichardt, in place of Herr Pecz, who, we believe, has
quitted the theatre. Studiously avoiding "odious com-
parisons," we shall simply state that Herr Reichardt,
who sang most of the music set down for him delight-
fully, and acted throughout with great spirit and judg-
ment, made on this occasion another highly valuable
addition to his already long list of successes with the
London public. The opera was enthusiastically ap-
plauded from first to last, the principal artistes being
called for at the conclusion of the second and third acts.
