KING'S THEATRE.

TEBALD 0 ED. ISOLINA.
A rioted notice prepared the audience, on Saturday night, fist
the omission of the character of Gerald*, and the curtailment of
that of aententa owing to the illness of Signor Dc Vita and Mad.
Cssritu. Considering the late hour at which the entertainments
at this Theatre conclude, these characters might be judiciously
shortened, although the action of the Piece and the groupiug pf
the Stage eannot dispense with them entirely. The Opera went
off, however, with great eclat and the many melodic and liar.
manic beauties, which discover themselves on further acqa .intance,
aided by the exqvisite performance of Vett.un, will ensure it a.
degree of success equal to that of the C'rociato, and, we trust, reps.)r
the expense and attention act liberally bestowed on its production.
The arena, netts trensenela, ending with the nemeses " Coro ammo
lusinskidr," (in which the Composer has borrowed the opening notes
from MOZAILT'S " Bali Batii,") is, as sung by Vattost, a rare
union of music with feeling and sentiment, and must be heard to
be duly appreciated. Although the charming impteision of this
meta has always created an encore, the majority of the audience
hive, with mere consideration, opposed so fatiguing an exertion.

penditure of that nature.
