HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE.
The ever fresh and ever amusing Don Pasquale was
performed for the first time this season last evening.
Lablache, who has completely recovered from his late
indisposition, was full of quaint and unctuous humour,
and made richer fun than ever, keeping the audience in
a roar by his eccentric whimsicalities. Madame Sontag
is certainly the best Norina who has ever appeared—
the flexibility of her voice gives her, in this character,
as great a vocal superiority over her rivals as does
her lady-like bearing and graceful manner an his-
trionic enperiority over them in the delineation of the
well-bred heroines of true comedy. Norina is a lady
par excellence, and therefore does she find her best re-
presentative in Madame Sontag. Ferranti was the
Doctor Malatesta, and to our thinking he is one of the
best who has appeared; ho sings the music with great
taste and judgment, and infuses the true Italian buffo
spirit into his acting. Calzolari was the Ernesto, and
sung the serenade exquisitely; it was, as a matter of
course, encored. Nothing could exceed the effervescing
buoyancy with which the opera went off. It was pre-
ceded by the last act of Lucia di Lammermoor, with
Caroline Duprez as Lucia and Sims Reeves as Edgardo,
and was followed by the lively, bustling ballet, Les Cos-
mopolites. Between the first and second acts of Den
Pasquale we had the delightful Truandaise, in which
Carlotta Grisi was more espiegle, if that be possible,
than ever. The house was crowded.
His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge and his
Royal Highness Prince William Henry of the Nether-
lands honoured the performances with their presence.
The Queen's box was occupied by Lord and Lady
Camoys, the Misses Stonor, Mr. Francis Stonor, Air.
and Mrs. John Townley and party. Amongst the noble
and distinguished individuals also honouring the theatre
with their presence on this occasion were the following:
—The Duchess of Inverness, the Duke and Duchess of
Cleveland, the Marquis of Clanricarde, his Excellency
the Russian Alinistersind Baroness Brunnow, his Excel-
lency the Ottoman Ambassador and suite, the Earl of
Aielmesbury, Earl Gifford, Lord and Lady Manners,
Lord William Lennox, the Count Corte, Lady Charlotte
Guest, Sir William Ball, Bart., Captain Smith, Mr.
Storer, Miss Caroline Bellew, M. Sapolina, Mr. St.
John, Mr. Whyte, Mrs. Johnstone, Captain Lake, Mr.
Bedford, Mr. Wells, Mr. Knox Holmes, Mr. 1)o
Blaquiere, Mr., Mrs., and Miss Richards, Mr. C. B.
