TIER MAJESTY'S THEATRE AND THE ROYAL
ITALIAN OPERA.—We have reason to believe ;that the
operatic undertakings hitherto carried on at her Majesty's
Theatre and the Royal Italian Opera are to be united
under one management—that of Mr. Mapleson. The wish
of many influential supporters of the Opera, the destruc-
tion of her Majesty's Theatre, the desire of Mr. Gyo to be
relieved of the arduous duties of management which ho
has borne for 20 years at the Royal Italian Opera, Covent-
garden—all these causes have led to this determination.
It is to be hoped this arrangement may be carried out in
the interests of the art of music and of artistes, and be-
cause it affords a promise of one really complete grand
Opera. It would be premature to enter upon details at
present, but it is stated that Mr. Mapleson will be sup-
ported by powerful influence, and that he proposes that
Opera, under the new arrangements, shall be presented, if
possible, on a grander scale than hitherto.
