ROYAL ITALIAN OPERA.
COVENT-GARDEN.

Grisi, Tamburini, Tagliafico, and Lavia appeared
here last evening for the first time this season, in the
opera of Semiramide. Grisi, the perennial, is the same
Grisi that she ever was. She was in superb voice, and
sung and acted Semiramide as she alone can sing and
act. She was received with enthusiastic shouts of wel-
come. Tamburini Albert, not the Tamburini of former
years, is still the best Assur on the stage. Tagliafico
and Livia were both in good voice, and went through their
parts with care anti precision. Alboni was the Arsace,
and seemed as if the presence of Grisi inspired her with
new life. There was nothing of that listlessness about
her of which we have of late had to complain. Her
Arsace was full of energy and spirit. The " Giomo
d'Arore" was splendidly given by Alboni and Grisi.
The opera was performed so frequently last season is ith
the same cast, that it would be a work of supererogation
now to dwell on its excellencies. The performance of
last night was the most perfect ever listened to since the
original production of the opera.
Her Majesty's box was occupied by the Marquis and
Marchioness of Douro and Lady Mallet. Their Royal
Highnesses the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, at-
tended by Baron Knesebeck, Baroness Bosse, and Mr.
Mildmay; the Princess Mary, and his Serene Highness
Prince Frederick of Hesse, were also present. Among
the miscellaneous company were the Marquis of Tich-
field, the Marquis of Clanricarde, their Excellencies the
Turkish and Brazilian Ministers, the Marquis and
Marchioness of Ailesbury, Marchioness of Blandford,
Viscountess Castlereagh, &c.
