HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE.

At the desire of several distinguished subscribers, La
Figlia, performed on the last extra night, was repeated
yesterday, with what success the large attendance will
prove. It will probably be the last performance of LaFiglia
for some time to come, for next Thursday will be de-
voted to La Sonnambula, and it is most likely that next
week the great vocalist will appear for the first time in
a favourite opera of Rossini, which has been on the
shelf for some years. Whatever Mdlle. Lind's success
in that opera, La Figlia, as the creation of her genius—
es an opera which draws its whole interest, musical as
well as vocal, from her embodiment—will always re-
main one of the most curious and attractive manifesta-
tions of her genius and power. The Queen's box was
yesterday evening occupied by the Earl and Countess
of Rosebery, Lady Mary Primrose, and Colonel the
Hon. C. B. and the Hon. Mrs. Phipps. In her Majesty
Queen Adelaide's box were—the Marquis and Mar-
chioness of Worcester, the Viscount Curzon, Lord G.
Paget, and Captain and Lady Rose Lovell. Amongst
the audience were—His Grace the Duke of Wellington,
the Prince Louis Napoleon, the Duchess of Leeds, and

ROYAL ITALIAN OPERA.
Donizetti's grand opera La Favoriia was performed
last night by special desire of her Majesty. The cast
has been greatly strengthened by the engagement of M.
Massol, of the Acackalie Royale de Musique, at Paris.
His performance of the character of Alfonso XL im-
parted a perfection to the ensemble, the want of which
materially deteriorated the general effect of the former
representations. M. Massol is tall and dignified in per-
son, graceful in deportment, and his acting is marked
by great intelligence and truo dramatic action. His
voice is a baritone of considerable extent, fluent in deli-
very, and just in intonation. The cavatina " Si, tutti i
cortigiani," was admirably rendered. The sentiment
was passionately delivered, and the vocalisation of the
best school. The applause was enthusiastic and unanimous.
The romance "A tanto amor " was charmingly inter-
preted, and convinced us that M. Massol may take a

opera. Nothing could exceed the beauty and pathos of
the lovely romance, " Angiol d'amore." The burst of
fearful despair at the close was quite perfect. The re-
demand was spontaneous. The exciting duet, " Vien
tutto obblio per to," was given with wonderful force by
Grisi and Mario, and achieved a similar honour. The
fine chorus of courtiers in the third act was encored.
The concerted pieces were superbly rendered,
and the closing scene, with its architectural excellence,
picturesque mise en scene, and chorus of monks over
the corpse of Leonora, may be cited as one of the coin-
pletest that has been witnessed on the stage of any
theatre. The house was full sad fashionably attended.
The Queen and his Royal Highness Prince Albert,
accompanied by her Royal Highness the Duchess of
Kent, honoured the performance with their presence.
Her Majesty was attended by Viscountess Jocelyn and
the Earl of Listowel, and his Royal Highness Prince
Albert by General Wemyss and Colonel Seymour, and
in attendance on her Royal Highness the Duchess of
Kent was the Lady Augusta Bruce. Their Royal
Highnesses the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and
his Royal Highness Prince George were also pre-
sent, attended by the Hon. Miss Mitford, Baron
Knesebeek, and Mr. Mildmay. Among the visitors
were his Excellency the French Minister, the
Duke and Duchess of Cleveland, the Duke and
Duchess of Beaufort, the Duchess Dowager of Bed-
ford and Lady Rachel Russell, the Marquis and Mar-
chioness of Ailesbury, the Earl of Cardigan, the

HANOVER-SQUARE ROOMS.
Mr. A. Sedgwick's concert took place on Monday night,
when a programme, cc,nsisting of thirty-six pieces of vocal
and instrumental music, was performed by some of our
most distinguished and talented young professors. To
enumerate all w e should be obliged to write a
column ; we shalt, therefore, confine ourselves to the
salient points o i the concert. The concert opened
with the over turf to Don Pasquale, performed
on ten concertinas„ by Mr. A. Sedgwick, &c., &c.,
which had a novel effect. A new ballad, by Welling-
ton Guernsey, vvw a sweetly sung by Miss Moriat
O'Connor, which, f rom the enthusiastic applause which
followed, promises to be most popular. Mr. A. Sedgwick
performed several times on the concertina, and always with
taste, judgment, /
aid expression. Guile Regondi's fanta-
sia for the guitar :, on airs from Don Giovanni, was a
masterpiece. T 1 a e morceau is arranged from Thalberg's
Don Giovanni f antasia. It was encored, and indeed it
well merited t hat honour, for we never heard such
perfect execu . tion of such extraordinary difficul-
ties. On his re-appearance he played "La Chasse,"
by L. Schulz.. 2.1. T. T. Williams rendered Rossini's
beautiful aria. from the &abet divinely. Miss
Eliza Nelson wit s very successful in her father's
pretty song '° Dear ,tiful Night," The duet for piano
and violincello, b, i Julian Adams and George Collins,
was a decided hit,' and was most rapturously applauded
several times dur inn its masterly performance. Mr.
Frederick Chattel :ton's harp fantasia on themes from
Robert le Diable cf .as as usual excellent. A splendid aria
r
little known in tb , is country, "Io non ti Posse" !)v.Yl3l3oc'y I
Donizetti, now,, i dest no more, was superbly gini a u

man's Sara Fle,ser , her fine voice telling withe i
man's Chorus," t T Weber, was the theme of univerad
with vernal
praise, his own peculiar style , tolling

ment at one of ea r principal theatres. Last,
but indeed,
• 0 public favourite, the " goddess
not least, as a g mum mouse I
of the bow," Ros ins Collins charmed the audience with
her matchless e xecution on the violin, of Paganini's
variations to the ( Jarnival de Venise, which was applauded
to the echo. Br ava, indeed we may say bravissima,

THEATRE 1101 CAL DRURT•LANE.—We have muc.h

legitimate drama will be given in a style of fir:it-rate
excellence. Anti! tone is to be the first production. The
