opera and inferior performers, and an inferior ballet, but
,<i_ I IN ith performances of a character so superior, sustained
by artistes of such unapproachable excellence, that they
cannot be surpassed. The newprinza donna, Mdlle. Alboni,
whose fame and standing as an artiste has been estab-
lished in England by two seasons of uninterrupted tri-
umphs—and who, during the las twinter, actually resus-
citated the Italian opera in Paris, which, until her ap-
pearance there some two or three months since, was
bankrupt in every sense of the word, but which she by
her almost unaided efforts raised from its low estate, and
restored to its pristine prosperity—made her debut
at her Majesty's Theatre last evening, in the
character of Angelina, in ltossini's opera 14
Cenerentola. the character in which, in Paris
and in London, she has achieved the most marvellous
success. On her first appearance she was greeted with
the most enthusiastic plaudits ; the audience bailed her

non se che," was
and the most perfect intonation. Her mariner of rendering
the opening verse of this duet excited her audience to a high
pitch of enthusiasm; the verse was loudly redemanded,
and was repeated with the same beautiful expression as
before. From this point her progress was a succession
of brilliant triumphs. Tho finale to the first act,
" Sprezzo quoi don," exhibited the great compass
of her voice to perfection. She is as great as a
soprano singer as she is as a contralto, and
marvellous to say (and in this she possesses a great ad-
vantage over all her predecessors), the whole range of
the voice is equally complete, there is no break, neither
is there a single weak or incomplete note in either the
upper or lower register. This perfection of voice was
peculiarly perceptible last evening in her manner of
rendering the finale to the first act. The remarkable
points in the second act were the Nacque all aflizno, that
exquisite morceau which precedes the finale of the
opera, and which was rendered by Mademoiselle
Albon with a brilliancy that was perfectly dazzling,
exciting the most rapturous applause, and the finale itself,
the world-famous " Non pin mesta." We have seen
every artiste who has appeared in the character of the
Cenerentola since the days of Sontag, and we have
certainly never seen or heard any who can approach
Mdlle. Alboni. " Non pin mesta" is her greatest
triumph, whether we regard the sparkling
brilliancy of her fioriture, or the marvellous
ease and grace of her execution, of the wonderful com-
pass,: or the perfection of intonation, or the exquisite
sweetness of her voice, or the utter absence of all appear-
ance of effort. Never was she in better voice than last
night—never did she achieve a greater triumph. The
" Non piu mesta " was, of course, encored, and at the
conclusion she was again called for. Her success was
one of the most brilliant and complete that has
ever been achieved. Gardoni was in admir-
able voice, and sung and acted the part of
Don Ramiro very effectively. Belletti was admirable as
Dandini, and F. Lablache acted I)on Magnifico in
a manner worthy of his name and lineage. The duet
"Un Segretto," was given with true comic gusto. Tho
choruses were admirably rendered; and the band, under
the able direction of Balte (who was warmly welcomed
on his appearance in the orchestra), is more complete
than it has yet been. The deficiency in the
stringed instruments has been remedied, the number of
violinists having been greatly increased. Tho improve-
ment which has taken place in consequence was ren-
dered strikingly manifest in the beautiful sestetto in the
second act, which was rendered with a gracefulness, a dis-
crimination, and a judgment that lett nothing to be de-
sired. All the delicate lights and shades were perfectly
developed. The National Anthem was sung at the
conclusion of the opera, Alboni and Gardoni taking the
solo parts. The ballet of the Diable a Quatre followed
with Carlotta Grisi as the heroine. She was supported
by Caroline Rosati and Marie Taglioni. They were
all welcomed with the greatest enthusiasm, and the ballet
was rapturously applauded throughout—indeed, a ballet
so supported could not be otherwise than most successful.
The house was crowded in every part.

Princess of Parma honoured the performance at her
Majesty's Theatre yesterday evening with their pre-
sence. Her Majesty the Queen Dowager's box was oc-

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.
TATTERSALL'S.—YESTERDAY.
The general betting was extremely flat; it was never-
theless very important in its influence on the position of
the principal favourite for the Northamptonshire Stakes,
inasmuch as the anxiety to get on was so great that at
one time anything above 6 to 4 would have been taken;
a reaction at the close sent him back to 7 to 4, layers;
Velox and Giselle were the only other animals in
favour for it. Do-the-Boys had several backers for
the Metropolitan Handicap, for which The Tartar made
his debut ; we believe 20 to 1 would have been taken.
The other movements consisted of an improvement its
Honeycomb for the Two Thousand Guineas Stakes, in
doc-o -Sot, Cosssack, and Rathmines for the Chester
Cup, and in Tadmor for the Derby. Latest quotations:—

ROYAL ITALIAN OPERA,
COVENT-GARDEN.
The Roy al Italian Opera opened last evening, with
Aubei's chef-deeouvre Masctniello, which we believe has
never in this country, been [reduced in its complete state
until last evening. It is just twenty-one years since La
illuette de Portia was produced at the Academic Royale
du Musique in Paris. It at once attained an immense
popularity there, and secured for its com-
poser, Auber, an immortality, and under the
name of Masaniello became throughout the conti-
nent the most popular of operas. It is also of historical
interest. It was during the performance of this opera
at Brussels that the audience rushed from the theatre,
erected barricades, and expelled the Dutch, and to the
enthusiasm which it excited in Warsaw is the night
attack on the Belvidere and the expulsion of Constan-
tine to be attributed. Strange to say, the English public
had never until last evening an opportunity of seeing
this opera in its entirety, and all lovers of music are
under great obligations to the management of the Royal
Italian Opera for the great pains they have taken to
present us with a complete version of Auber's chef
d'ecuvre. We were present at the original production of
this opera in Paris, when Adolphe Nourrit was the
Massniello, which character was last night sustained
by Mario; Madame Cinti Damoreau the Elvira (last
night it was Madame Durus Gras); and Mademoiselle
Noblet was the Fenellu, a part admirably sustained last
evening by Mademoiselle Pauline Leroux; and we have
no hesitation in saying that it was represented
last evening at the Royal Italian Opera in
a manner in every respect superior to the
manner in which it was originally represented in
Paris. The Masaniello of Mario is a fine, spirited,
manly performance. When he enters in the second act
he looks the very beau ideal of a Neapolitan fisherman,
and sings the far-famed barcarole with immense spirit
This scene is admirably represented. The chorus not
only sung, but acted throughout with true Italian energy
—witness the market chorus ; and as a specimen of the
most magnificent choral vocalization that ever was
heard, we will mention the concluding chorus of the third
act. Madame Dorus Gras sung the music of Elvira
with great taste; her aria d'inlrata was exquisitely given.
Massol was the Pietro, and his fine bass voice told with
great effect in the duet "Sara it morrir," with Mario.
His solo in the fifth act was a great triumph. We
have never before heard this celebrated air so spiritedly
given. The acting of Mario in this scene was very fine,
as indeed it was throughout the opera, whether as the
joyous fisherman, the impassioned avenger of his sister's
wrongs, the king lamenting his former ,happy obscurity,
or the dying poisoned, patriot, whose last moments are
tortured by madness, he was equally great.. The
