DRURY-LANE THEATRE.

List night Barnett's opera of the Mountain Sylph,
was revived and performed for the first time at this theatre.
The part of Eolia, the mountain sylph, was sustained
very prettily by Lucy E cott, and Miss Dyer made a
very interesting J ossis. The part of Donald was en-
trusted to Mr. Haigh, and that of Hela, the wizard, to
?Ir. Durand. Both gentlernen sung the music allotted
to the part very fairly, but Lfr. Haigh'h Donald Jacked
that tendernesa with which poor Wilson used to invest
the character, and Mr. Durand was wanting in finish.
The chorus was at times very unsteady, but as the opera
Proceeded, thanks to the exertions of Mr. Tully, the
conductor, it deciledly improved. The revival was de-
cidedly -successful. The
‘hou3e was both fully and
fashionably attended.
