PRINCESS'S THEATRE.

Miss A. Romer made a most successful debit on Tuesday
evening. in the character of Adelgisa, in Bellini's opera of
Norma. Our musical readers, no doubt, recollect this young
lady at the concerts of the Royal Academy of Music, where
her singing attracted great attention. Her voice is a pure
soprano, wonderfully flexible, and of exquisitely sweet quality
Her recitative is clear, distinct, and emphatic, and her style,
both of singing and acting, is finished. She has handsome,.
expressive features, and her general appearance is very pre-
possessing. Miss Bassano was the Norma, and her per-
formance of that arduous character is such as to
confirm the favourable opinion we expressed of her
abilities, vocal and histrionic, on the occasion of her Mid
some short time since, in the character of Anna Bolena..
Allen was the Pollio, and, together with Miss Romer and
Miss Bassano, was called for at the conclusion of each act of
the
.opera and received with enthusiastic applause. The
(ill of Dliss Anne Romer was one of the most successful
that we have seen for some time, and that she will soon
achieve for herself a position worthy the name she bears
here cannot be the least doubt.
