THE PRINCEss TffEATRE.

,m1.111.11.111M.M1
Spotr's beautiful opera et Jessunda—produccrl far the
first here n Thursday.and repeated last night, hashed
cm reittl) auceessful—and ;t is only suprising that so FPI°.
did a composition should have remained so long unko`ti
to our musical public. La Germany it has for many years
been a stock opera. The beauty of the orchestral writil
is wonderful, possessing a richness and refinement rare in
such productions. This may be ascribed in part to tint
composer's co operation in the production of the Pei%
and the beautiful words expressive, too, and Pathetic 1
the highest degree, produce a wonderful effect '141:-
adorned with such a flow of delicious melody in. the "cio,
parts. And here we must give tte preference to jess°,lll 1,0
as being more pleasing though not less scientific ',t,
Faust. The whole operation is a eon:ibuation of delig"
411 effects that are, in fact, more than ear can appreciate;
;t would seem that both the vocal and instrumental Part!:
should have a separate hearing. fu fact, so great 15 the
c:aim upon the ear, that to do justice to this fiac
sition it must be many times beard and studied. It "Übe
be impossible to take any one trio, duet, or solo for t
purpose of critics- rn; it is a whole, on" majestic wholf,lo
cannot be disunited. Madame Stoekel fieinifetter
her debut as Jessonda. She has a very rich voice, and 7;
cx,cutiun admirably correct. Her powers of both aelfs
and singing were particularly exhibited in the latterg--i
of the opera. Thu lady is a great acquisition to the ue,
man company. The other singers were also very 511 C.
successful.
