nBR MAJESTY'S TR EATR.
SEASON 1856.
It is respectfully announced that the OPERA SEASON
' 'will COMMENCE on SATURDAY, the 10th of May.
On resuming the perfoanances which have been suspended
..„"tring the last three years, the Director of her Majesty's
Jateatre is anxious to assure the patrons of the' Opera and
'the public;that no exertion shall be wanting to secure fom
- this establishment that high position it so long inaintained7
and he trusts that the renewal of the enterprise under more=
• airosperous auspices will be aecompanied with that favour
and support which no frequenter of the Opera needs to be
"minded were for.so many years' accorded to a brilliant and
lineetssful management.
' The seceeeien, 1847, of many of those performers who
bad long been attached to the Opera .House was the corn-
• ' ealeneetneut of a loog tind arduous struggle to maintain the
• fortunes of the old house ; and it was not till the wealth of
fear huccessive competitors hadbeen fruitlessly lavished upon
the rival theatre, that Mr. Lumley was reluctantly compelled
to retire from the contest. .
Prom that time to the present Mr. Lumley's efforts have
been unremitting to re-open her Majesty's Theatre upon a
Peertnenent basis, and to restore the Opera to its ancient
aome. He has received liberal encouragement from every
and, effectually aided by noble and generous support
a quarter where the refinements of art and taste never
'au to find a patron, he is now enabled gratefully to announce
the immediate resumption of performances. •
„eiAte the present moment-therii are vocalists, of an excellence
-`l,tem 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 marked out by its size, its situa-
tion, and its convenience of access, no less than by old and
interesting alsociations, ai 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
bas failed to explain, and that no architect could engage to
reproduce, by which the faintest tones and the most delicate
Yeealisation 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 distinguished supporters.
In I consequence of the late period. at which it was resolVed
` to
L 'Veil the Theatre, the arrangements, satisfactary as it is
"Ped they will even now be found, are not yet fully corn
Noted ; and negotiations are in progress from which impor-
twit accessions are expected.- -
