ROSSINI'S NEW OPERA
For a long lapse of years the great 'Rossini, in spit-
of every entreaty, and of every tempting offer, has re-
mained silent ; Meyerbeer ultimately followed his ex'
ample ; Donizetti, seized by sudden moral afflictionr
retirsd from the field, and severe illness appeared_tf,
condemn the young Verdi to the same melancholy
ternative. When lyrical composition was reduced i
this hopeless state, suddenly Rossini, after resisting
,i
for
~
years every advance, appears to have been excited
Ls
u
the wish, with his single magic power, to raise St
great establishment, the Acad&nie de Musique, from it
RL
utter degradation into which it has fallen since til°';
days when, instead of artificially supporting the failing
courage of its artists, by the hired applause of the elle
valicrs du lustre, Comte Cry and Guillaume Tell cod'
mended loud and spontaneous applause. It was earnestli
urged upon Rossini by great personages that cothin
but his interposition could save this national institution
of France from utter destruction ; and he generously
consented to forego his cherished habits of retiremen
and extend an aid so vitally important. M. Fillet /0:t
i
not a moment in availing himself of Rossini's unexpenl,„
and unhoped-for kindness, and he at once repaired
Bologna. Scribe, the unrivalled librettist of France'
soon follow ed to harmonise his inspiration '',lt
Rossini ; but he was taken Si) ill during
the journey, that his physicians intimated that
if he continued to exert himself he would be reelne't,
to the acme state Of mental lethargy as the unfortunao-
Donizetti. Upon this, Gustave Vaez was dispatched fr°o
Paris to replace Scribe, and fortunately Rossini I%
highly phased with the tbrato he brought with him 04,6,
specimen of his abilities. Rassini immediately set to w°,,1%0
and, at the outset, dispatched to England a person viut;
in his name, offered the exclusive enjoyment of the anc'
on this side of the Channel to his friend the propleior
`o,
of her Majesty's Theatre, who did not hesiitrgea
to secure this valuable privilege for a lard
sum. We mention this, not only because the &Po,
public will be gratified next season by this 0134 re
performed by the greatest lyrical artists, but still int
because the deed of purchase, now duly signed Pa
sealed, is an irrefragable proof how well founded
to
the rumours which have for the last three 1001'.
excited so many hopes and fears among the admirer-0A
Rossini's genius. Indeed, the news which we are; be
fortunate enough to be the first to authenticate tbe
considered everywhere as a great event, and excitehop
eager attention of the whole civilised world, with if„at
operatic performances have become the most para,Ko°
of all the intellectual resources of recreation.
