HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE.
In C:)11, ot the illn.ss of Maila tie Castellan,
the opera Ernani was not p,,rf,rint.d here las' Pr.-cl-
ing. Instead, we the lt,t arts ..1111 bitze
in which the superb acting of Coletti p•...rlucA an im-
m-rise cifet, and the first act of Lu Fuvorita, with
k3ardoni. Between the perils a new divr russet:nem was
introduced, for the retiree Poirot, and never have we
,een P-rrct to greater adva.ntaue. Comple ely recovered
•r •rn the etf..cts of his accident., he was the Perrot of
former times and qui*e el- ctrified the house by his
,utouniling tours de Jo'ce in Iris pus de deux with Caro-
lina Ros ati. Millie. Rosati has id-ted immensely to
t'pr faille by her ex, cu;i 3n of this exquisite pas de
deux. One of her par., p,rformed entirely on one loot,
was a wonder of cliw,rographic art. Jn it grace and
.
power were uniied, and at its conclusion the appLuse
was rapturous, and she was twice called tor. Then
came Perrot aga'n, and then Can:lir-la. Rosati in another
pas of twinkling steps, which were given 60 rapidly that
the eye could scarcely follow them. This pas surpassed
anything that Fanny Elssler has ever danced. The
Els,ler of twenty years since could not have equalled it.
The applause was again mo-t enthusiastic, and at the
conclusion of the di4ertissement Perrot and Rosati were
called for, and bouquets were showered upon the
stake. The grucetul little Taglioni also gave her
elegant dance, ‘• the Posnonaise," which was, of course,
encored. The ballet of 7 hea, in which the pas of Ro-
sati was, of course, honoared with a double encore,
concluded the evening's entertainments. The house was
crowded in every part.
