didate for public favour to sustain for twenty-nine succes-
sive seasons the highest and most arduous characters of the
men
lyric drama and certainl never with such unanimous com-
dations , yas have been unceasingly bestowed on Madame
Grisi.
The Directors are convinced that not only will the higher
classes, who have been the most frequent witnesses of
Madame Grisi's artistic triumphs, participate in their sen-
timents on this occasion, but they feel sure that the rstire-
ment of that lady will cause one general feeling of deep
regret to all the lovers of music of this country.
In organising, therefore, this Farewell Festival, arrange-
ments have been made to impart to it the character of a
popular ovation. The holders of both classes of Season
Tickets will be admitted to the Festival without charge,
while, at the same time, the price of admission to the public
in gener 4 is placed at such a moderate sum as will, in all
probability, ensure an immense assemblage to bid Farewell
to the great Prima Donna.
