HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE.

Don Pasquale was repeated here on Saturday, and
the furore excited by the delightfully perfect im-
personation of the part of
.Norina by Madame
Sontag: was even greater than on her former appear-
ance in that character. The opera will be repeated
to-morrow (Tuesday), by the special desire of her
Majesty, who has signified ber intention of honouring
the performance with her presence. On Thursday,
the Nozze di Figaro is to be produced, the cast will
include Madame Sontag (who will be, of course, the
Susannah), Miss Catherine Hayes (who will
appear for the first time in the character
of Cherubino), Madlle. Parodi, and Signori Coletti,

of the opera Madlle. Carlotta Gris i and Madlle.

time. Signor Buccardi, the new tenor, is to appear
