HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE.
SEASON 1856.
It is respectfully announced that the OPERA. SEASON
Neill COMMENCE on SATURDAY next, the 10th of May.
• On resuming the performances which have been suspended
during the last three years, the Director of her Majesty's
Theatre is anxious to assure the patrons of the Opera and
the public that no exertion shall be wanting to secure for
e• establishment that so long maintained;
and lie trusts that the renewal of the enterprise under more
prosperous auspices will be accompanied with that favour
al d support 'which no frequenter of tho Opera needs to be
ntimincled were for so many years accorded to a brilliant and
successful manairevaent.
The secession, in
.1847, of many of those performers who
bad long been, attached to the Opera Nouse was the com-
mencement of a long and arduous struggle to maintain the
fortudes of the old house ; and it was not till the wealth of
. four successive competitors had been fruitlessly lavished upon
the rival theatre, that Mr. Lumley was reluctantly compelled
to retire from the contest.
From that time to the present Mr. Lumley's efforts have
been unremitting to re-open her Majesty's Theatre upon a
permanent basis, and to restore the Opera to its ancient
home. He has received liberal encouragement from every
side, and, effectually aided by noble and generous support
from a quarter where the refinemmts of art and taste never
fail to find a patron, be is now enabled gratefully to announce
the immediate resumption of performances.
At the present moment there are vocalists, of an excellence
seldom surpassed, who have never been heard by an English
public. Of these the elite have been secured for the present
season.
Her Majesty's Theatre is marled out by its size, its situa-
. tion, and its convenience of access, no less than by old and
interesting associations, as the appropriate seat of the Opera.
In the acoustic properties, so essential to the effective pro-
duction of the lyrical drama, it is acknowledged to surpass
every other stage in Europe. In consequence of some happy
accident of construction a result has been attained that science
has failed to explain. and that no architect.could engage to
reprqdnec, by which the faintest tones and the most delicate
vocafigation• penetrate with unimpaired clearness to the re-
motest recesses of, the vast edifice.
The arrangements completed and in progress, both in Opera
and Ballet, will, it is confidently hoped, be thought worthy
of the former reputution of .the Theatre, and of the just ex-
pectations of its disting,uished'supporters.
• Iu consequence of the late polio 1 at which it was resolved
to open the Theatre, the arrangements, satisfactory as it is
Loped they will even now be found, are not yet fully com-
pleted; and negotiations are in progress from which impor-
tant accessions arc expected.
The following arrangements have been completed :-
