DOY AL ITALIAN OPERA,
COVENT-GARDEN.
The Directors of the Royal I a:•aii Opera be; nt.st respectfully to
inform the nobility, gentry, subscriber-, and the puoiic, that the
SEASON of 1853 will COMMENCE on Tuesday, March 29.
The ensaing Season will be the Seventh of the Royal Italian Opera;
• and whatever pride and gratification the Directors may naturally
feel in making this announcement, they are not unmindful that it is
to the generous and encouraging patronage of the Subscribers and
the public, and to the loyalty and esprit de corps of the artistes of
• their establishment, as well as to their own individual exertions,
they are indebted for the accomplishment of the object they have so
nnweariedly laboured to attain, viz., the perm,nent establishment
of a Dr .matla and Lyrical Institution worthy of this great metro-
polis.
The Directors feel it is scarcely necessary for them to state that
they intend still to pursue that path which has led to these success-
ful results ; and they t, ust that their arrangements for the forthcom-
ing season. which they now have the honour to submit, will be
received as an evidence of that intention.
It will be seen that the great artistes who have so long held the
highest rank in public estimation still lend their valuable aid; that -I'
those who last year appeared for the first time in Englano, the most
promising have been retained, and that several ethers of great repu-
tation have been added t , the establishment.
The Directors regret that they are not able to make a positive an-
nouncement as to the performan, e of Mademoiselle Wagner during
the coming seasrm ; they still, however, entertain sanguine hopes
that circumstances will permit 01 that lady's appearance, if it be only
for a limited number of re7resentatii,ns.
The Repertoire of the Royal Italian Opera now comprises THIRTY-
NINE OPERAS, each of which is complete in scenery, costumes,
and appointments.
