HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE.

The production of Verdi's "Luisa Miller," although
affording strong itestimony of Mr. Lumley's desire to
present his pAtrons with every possibly variety, cannot
be considered as among the most successful efforts of the
season, and the manager is wise in substituting other and
far better operas. Verdi's Luisa may "do once in a way,"
but commend us to " Luerezia Borgia," La Figlia del
Reggimento, Don Giovanni, and such choice works
as the company at this house are thoroughly qualified
to present in a high degree of excellence, rather than to
the second-rate operas of a Verdi. Such singers an
Alboni, Titiens, Belliti, Giuglini, and Beneventano are
worth hearing in first-class music, and crowded and bril-
lant audiences bear witness that they fully appreciate
the numerous and sound works prepared for their en-
joyment by Mr. Lumley. La Figlia del Reggimento
will be repeated to-morrow evening, and on Thursday
" Luoreala," with its unusually strong cast will be
given.
