(HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE.

Le .N.ozze di Figaro, the best of comic operas, was per-
formed here last night for the first time this season, for
the benefit of Signor Puzzi, with Madlle. Cruvelli as
Cherubino. She achieved a splendid triumph, her
Cherubino is as completely the inspiration of ge-
nius as her Fidelio or her Norma. Vivacious, espieg e,
yet fervidly,.impassinned ale was the very page that Beau-
marchais drew. The two great airs of the part
were exquisitely rendered, the " Voi the Sapete" being
rapturously encored- The Susanna of Madame Sontag was
as brilliant as refined, and as perfect as ever, and Madame
Fiorentini makes the most delightful Countess we have ever
seen. Ferranti as Figaro was full of genuine Italian
humour. Coletti as the Count was admirable,
and Lablache as Bartolo was superb. In the
course of the evening Carlotta Grisi danced a pas,
and was rapturously applauded. That little wonder, Paul
Julien,:performed a fantasia on the violin and by his marvel-
lous execution and his exquisite intonation fully confirmed
us in the opinion which we expressed yesterday, that he is
one of the first violinists of the day. The entertainments
concluded with the pretty divertissement, Les Graces,
in which Carolina Rosati, Marie Taglioni, and
Amalia Ferraris appeared as the Three Graces, and
which promises to be as popular as it was when
originally produced. 'The house was crowded.

ROYAL ITALIAN OPERA.
COVENT-GARDEN.
Her Majesty was graciously pleased to honour the Royal
Italian Opera last evening with a state visit, on which occa-
sion 11, Flauto Illogic°, the last, and, in some respects, the
most wonderful of Mozart's operas, was performed by com-
mand. The Queen and Prince Albert were, on their arrival,
greeted by enthusiastic cheering, and the national anthem
was sung, Castellan;Angri, and Viardot taking the solo parts.
The great novelty of the evening was the first appearance of
Madame Ana Zerr on the English stage. This lady, who ap-
peared as the Queen of the night, has recently sung at seve-
ral of the metropolitan concerts. The two great airs
belonging to this part have been her principal achieve-
ments upon these occasions. Possessing a thin and
flexible voice, and a species of vocal daring which never
within our expericnee has failed of its mark, her execu-
tion of the declamatory music associated with this cha-
racter, is at least a source of wonder. The extrava•
gance,of deportment which she has manifested in the con-
cert-room was materially abated on the stage, and her de-
livery of the airs alluded to may be placed among the ntost
remarkable triumphs of last night. The delicious music of
Pamina was admirably sung by Grisi, whose lustrious voice
and equally lustrous execution afforded infinite delight
throughout. Mario was a worthy Mullin() for such a Pamina„
A nobler Sarastro than Formes we never had. The fantastic
pair, Papageno and Papagena, were fantastically personated
by Ronconi and Viardot—the former readily apprehending
the comic features of the part, and pourtraying them with
industriZiis minuteness and animation. His humour at tintan
touched on the domain of the buffoon, but was neverthaler
excessively diverting. Papagena has so little to
do
that' it may be inferred Viardot simply lent,„"",
name to strengthen the aspect of the cast Irtted
particular and interesting occasion. The orchestra
itself with its usual skill, and the matchless Intt
paniments were detailed with superb and bewitching n'"'"l

THE GREAT EXHIBITION.
