EIDELTO.—We believe we may state, and that O'
elusively, that the reason why Fidelio has disappeared
for the ; resent from the bills of the Royal Italian Operaig this—that the wish has been expressed by royal amateurs,

perfection ; and to do so it would be necessary that Viardot
ihould be the Fidelio, and that Mario should study Floristan;
hence the unexpected delay.—Lady's Iftwspaper.
