A new opera entitled Little Red Riding flood was pro.
duped at this theatre last evening with the most decided sue
ciess. It is a thoroughly English opera in every sense of tht
word. The story is English, the singers are English, and th,
music is the compo-ition of an English lady, Mrs. G. a'Beckett
fhe old nursery tale has been skilfully adapted to the sage
The wolf becomes in the opera a certain Lord de Bracy ( Mr.
Leffler), who is in possession of a magic ring, the sight
which so bewitches every women who beholds it that she im-
nediately becomes desperately in love with its possc-sor.
tries its lowers on Rose (Miss Romer), the beaury of tl e vil.
lage, but the magic ring has no power over her, for she pen
sesses a certain little red riding hood, which has been blesser
by a holy hermit, and which protec's her against all the charm-
of witchrcaft. She is beloved by Lord Edgar Elpingliare (Mr.
W. Harrison), between whom and De Bracy there had long been
a feud. I?.lpingham,disguised as Nichol the Neat-herd,has won thr
heart of Rose, who is unaware of the noble extraction of het
lover ; De Bracy, who attempts to waylay her in the forest, is
met by Elpingham, and as they are about to decide their diffe-
rences at the sword's point, a venerable hermit interposes, anc
tells Elpingham that Rose must be De Bracy's before she car
be his. De Bracy glorying in his anticipated triumph, goe-
to the hermit's cell, arid, disguised as the hermit, meets Rose.
who, fancying she is safe w.th the hermit, throws off her riding
hood, and immediately becomes exposed to the magic influence
of the ring. De Bracy, however, discovers by Certain
papers, which he finds in the hermit's cave, that 11,ssre
the daughter of Edith, his sister, who had been secretly
married—acknowledges her as his niece, and gives her in
marriage to Lord Edgar, and thus all ends happily.
It is something almost unprecedented in the annals of music
for a lady to undertake the composition of an opera. The fact
of her having done so shows so great a love of the art as almost
to disarm criticism. But Mrs. a'Beckett stands in need of no
such excuses. True, the music of Little Red Riding Hood,
like the music of all young composers, exhibits occasionally a
tendency to imitation, hut this tendency isnot more remarketile
in Little Red Riding flood than it is in the earlier operas rbf
Rossini, and of almost all our great composers. In fact, until
a composer has established a name and fame, he fears to trust
himself to give the rein to his genius. This is precisely the case
with Mrs. a'Beckett. She has genius, she has science. she has
originality; she has hardly yet faith in her own genius, hut
that will come. The opera of Little Red Riding Hood is in
itself an opera of great merit, and contains more really beautiful
passages than any new opera that has been produced for
many a long day ; but it is not so much on account
of its own intrinsic merit—though we repeat that that
is very great—that we regard it with interest, as on account
of the promise which it holds forth for future excellence.
A rondo in the first act, " Wherefore Maiden," was beautifully
sung by Miss Romer, and rapturously encored. The idea of
the air was taken from Bellini, but by her skilful and artistical
management of it, Mrs. a'Beckett made it completely her own.
The song " Farewell dear scenes," in the second act, is a
beautiful melody. Harrison's voice has scarcely sufficient
compass to do it full justice ; he, however, sung it with great
taste, and was rewarded by a loud call for its repetition. 'I he
third act opens with a beautiful ballad, beautifully sung by
Leffler, °' When memory through the mist of tears," and the
opera concludes with a grand finale, " When the bounding
heart," by Miss Romer arid the chorus. This is a most exqui-
site morceau, and was splendidly given by Miss Romer.
After the fall of the curtain, the audience in-
sisted upon its repetition, and it was received the
second time with even greater enthusiasm than the first At
the fall of the curtain the opera was announced for repetition
every evening, with the unanimous concurrence of one of the
most crowded audiences ever assembled within the walls of the
Surrey. We sincerely congratulate Mrs. a'Becket on her
well-earned triumph. The opera was got up will all that at-
tention to the business of the stage for which thit theatre is so
celebrated. It will doubtless have a run. A new piece, en-
titled Memoirs of the D-1, was produced after the opera. It
is an adaptation from the French, and the hero turns out to he
the honest clerk of a dishonest lawyer, a character well suited
to play the d-1 with the rascals who have been his master's
clients. If this piece were cut down into two acts, it would
act much better; it is not deficient in point, but, as at present
acted, is somewhat heavy. The performances concluded with
the Artful Dodge, in which Wild and Miss E. Terry kept the
audience in a constant roar. The house was crammed to
suffocation.

EVENING CONCERT, AT THE
NATIONAL ASSOCIATION HALL
HOLBORN.

This concert., which took place yesterday evening in the
above Hall, vras most creditably got up, and equally well per-
formed and attended. The vocal part of " Hark ! 'tis the
Indian drum," accompanied by one of Bishop's finest tunes.
was excellent as an echo to the sense. The " Gratias agimus"
of Miss Cubitt, breathed the full sweetness of this old Catholic
church chant. Miss Williams and her sister, in several duetts,
comported themselves with their accustomed grace. A Scot-
tish air, descriptive of a brave wooer in love with the " bonny
black e'er," of the singer, was tripped off as the lightest
of love-lilts by Miss P. Horton ; while Leffler, who we believe
came in fresh from the Surrey, gave his glorious laughter-bit
from " C ,mus," which hai won him such honours this season
and subsequently in " Mighty Jove," pealed out his round
tones nobly. Of the instrumental part, a symphony by Beet
hoven, was performed, and One of 'Rossini's overtures,—that of
the " Italiana in Alfieri," which, like all that master's com-
positions, abounds in brilliant foritures, and beauties. Mr.
.01agrove led, and Mr. Holderness conducted the movements .4
a very efficient band. The audience alone was injudicious, in
the indiscriminate encore which it bestowed on almost ev,ry
piece. This rapacity for repetition was most ill-judged, and
some future correction should be found for it.
