HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE.
THE GRIND NATIONAL CONCERTS.
The Executive Committee, Directors, and Managers of "The
Grand National Concerts" have the honour to announce that the
Ti IRST SERIES will commence on Trinsn.tir, the 15th of October
next.
The Committee have the utmost pride and satisfaction In an-
nouncing that, by the gracious permission of his Majesty the King
of Prussia, they have been enabled to secure the entire Chorus of the
Berlin Chapel Royal, consisting of fifty male voices, under the direc-
tion of Herr Kapelmeister Neidthardt. The extraordinary nerfec-
Ron of this chorus is well known by reputation to every artiste and
amateur in Europe, but the opportunity of hearing them in any
town or country except their own has never hitherto been afforded.
During their engagement, several pieces, entirely new to this
country, and compased expressly for the Royal Chapel by Men-
delsshon, Neidthardt, Sze., will be performed, in addition to selec-
tions from the choral works of Bach. Handel, and Marcell°, toge-
ther with the celebrated " Battle Chorus," which has created se
extraordinary a sensation in Germany. An extra Chorus for the
nerenatas and ether English music has been selected with the
greatest care from the principal lyrical establishments, and will be
under the direction of Herr Ganz, Chorus Master of her Majesty's
Theatre.
