OYAL ITALIAN OPERA, LYCEUM,
SEASON, 1857.

Mr. GYt begs most respectfully to announce that the

Royal Italian Opera will, during the Season of 1857, be given
at the Theatre Royal Lyceum. The opening will take place
on TUESDAY, APRIL 14th.
It was the intention this year that the performance of the
Opera should take place at the Theatre Royal Drury Lane,
chiefly with a view to afford accommodation to those large
classes of the musical public who, for so long, have been the
constant supporters of the Royal Italian Opera, Covent Gar-
den, but unforeseen circumstances have praveuted this inten-
tion being fulfilled. Mr. GYE has in consequence again taken
the Lyceum Theatre, and while he much regrets the exelu•
sion of a great portion of the general public from the per- •
formances of the present season, he has at the same time
the satisfaction of being able by judicious alterations in. the
building, to accommodate a very considerable number of the
regular Subscribers
It is' also a source of gratification to know that an almost
universal approval was expressed at the perfection of the per-
formances at the Lyceum lastseason, many Subscribers indeed
even preferring the smaller theatre on 'account of the facility
in seeing .and hearing the entertainments, as well as for the
elegance and exclusiveness of the audiences.
-Mr. GYE trusts, however, that for the Season 1858 he will
be able to restore to the Royal Italian Opera a home equal, if
not superior, to that of which it has been deprived; in the
'meantime he begs most respectfully to entreat the continuance
.of that warm and generous support which has so long been
accorded to him, and without which ho would scarcely have.
had the fortitude to battle with the consequences of the cala-
mity of last year.
It will be seen by the following outline that there has been
no relaxation in the endeavour to render the arrangements of
'the present season as complete as possible-; that the great
artistes-are engaged-4rtistes, whether as sopranos, tenors,
baritones, or basses, are as yet without rivals; that the cele-
brated Orchestra; and its most accomplished Conductor', as
well as the Grand Chorus, still form part of the establishment;
and, iu fact, that an extraordinary combination of talent, such
as has procured for the Royal Italian Opera an 'European
reputation, is again assembled.
In addition to the -
