IMPORTANT NOTICE.

R

ROYAL ENGLISH OPERA, COVENT-
GARDEN.—Under the Management of Miss Louisa
Fyne and Mr. W. Harrison, Sole Lessees.,

The Management find it necessary to announce to their
Patrons that it will be impossible for a few nights at Christ-
mas to perform Balfe's eminently successful Opera with the
Grand Pantomime. The time in representation and scenic
preparation for an Harlequinade of such magnitude, renders
the temporary suspension of the brilliant Opera imperative.
Boxes and places will continue to be booked daily at the
Box-office for the reproduction of the Opera at an early date.
The sensation created with the public on the first represen-
tation of Baife's New Legendary Opera was most enthu-
siastic. Continuous applause marked its progress from the
rise until the fall of the curtain. The demand lor places daily
at the Box-office to witness this great musicil work of our
popular English Composer, places the Management in the
!proud position of announcing the performance of BIANCA,
THE BRAVO'S BRIDE, Every Evening until further
notice.

Legendary Opera, BIANCA, THE BRAVO'S BRIDE:
