ER MAJESTY'S THEATRE
SEASON 1857.

In announcing the arrangements for another season, the
Director of her neje -ty's Theatre cannot but refer, with sin-
cere gratitude, to the success whi,-li attended his efforts, un-
der very trying circumstances, in the season of 1856.
' Dramatic Opera, which in every foreign State is fostered by
Government aid, is, in this country, denied the support which
is extended to other departments of art ; and it is to the
patronage of the upper classes, who have rallied round the
establishment, that the country owes the prosperity of a
noble lyrical institution, which no unsupported individual
efforts could maintain in a manner worthy of its old renown.
In acknowledging the munificent assistance which enabled
him to conquer the unprecedented difficulties of last year, the
Director cannot sufficiently express his grateful appreciation
of the delicacy with which it was bestowed. Support was
freely and nobly accorded for thi sole purpose of insuring the
prosp ?rity of the institution, and the counsel which added to
its value was never accompanied by a word to shackle the
dis Talon or impair the authority of the direction. To this
the success of the past season is greatly owing ; and from the
generous confidence w_th which the subscribers have renewed
their subscriptions for the present year, without awaiting the
publication of the annual programme, the Director derives
the assurance that he has not altogether disappointed the
patrons of the theatre, and that he may rely on the continu-
ance of the cordial encouragement by which he has been
hitherto upheld, and under which it is hoped still higher
triumphs may be achieved than were immediately attainable
on the restoration of the establishment.
The enthusiasm which welcomed the re-opening of her Ma-
jesty's Theatre was not confined to the subscribers. The
ltearty interest and genuine appreciation displayed by, the
audiences who thronged the hens° from the first night to the
closing farewell demand the warmest thanks of the Director,
which he will endeavour practically-to express by renewed
efforts in the service of the public. •
• ' The DireCtor is most anxious to acknowledge how much he
Is indebted to Noddle Piccolomini and all the artistes whose
talents contributed to the success of last year, not merely far
those efforts of genius which won the sympathy and admira-
tion of the subscribers and the public, but for that high
artistic feeling and honourable fidelity which secured the
audience from disappointment, and enabled the Direction to
produce the entertainments promised for each evening with-
out a single change of performance—a fact without precedent
n Operatic history.
The advantages peculiar to her Majesty's Theatre—its cen-
tral position, and associations now more than a century old
--7-give to it a natural pre-eminence of which no occasional
circumstances can ever permanently deprive it. These ad-
vantages will bo turned to account by a Company combining
the prestige of acknowledged genius with the attraction of
new candidates for the highest rank of their profession. Those
"rho last year won favour at the hands of strangers will re-
appear to claim the cordial recognition which an English
audience never refuses to established favourites ; and the
direction has been further strengthened by au accession of
new aspirants of the highest order, whose merits are already
acknowledged on the stages of Italy, and who only await the
verdict of the subscribers and frequenters of her Majesty's
Theatre to confirm their fame.
Although, in an Establishment especially devoted to Italian
Opera, the compositions of Italy will naturally predominate,
the genis of other schools will not be neglected.
Ballet will continue to be supported by the most famous of
established Artistes and the most promising of those who are
ambitious of the same distinction.
It is hoped that the organisation of every department will
prove completely worthy of that state of renewed prosperity
to which her Majesty's Theatre has now attained.
The following are the arrangements already completed
