Theatrical.
The 81. James Theatre is closed. The following
programme will give some idea of what is going on
u the theatrical world in London -
BossIN1s OPERA OF STABAT MATER.-Ths fine
composition, the first which, after pause of many
years. the genius of the great maestro has given 10
the world, was performed yesterday morning, be-
esty's Theatre This remarkable production is In
every way worthy of Rossin. In treating it he has
divided the hymn into ten pieces of different char
acter, thus giving full scope to the veor and variety
OF his powers.
The first verse, given by four voices and chorus,
forms the introduction and, as It's mingled mourn
fulness and grandeur swelled on the ear, we felt
ourselves in the presence OF the masteT-spirit who
had wears ago produced Nose IN Egifto" and its
superb hymn " Dial tuo Stellao Soglio" The Sc.
cond piece, an air. "Cujos amman gementem,"
was, perhaps, the gem Of the WnOle. III was
trusted to Rubin, who did full justice TO its beau
y and tenderness, and gave the closing verse with
a pathos we have never heard surpassed II was an
embodiment OF some grand picture of the crucifx-
iona tableau musicale of the deep agonies of the
cross-and was one of the highest triumphs OF art.
Then followed beautiful duet between Mesdames
Moltini and Grazani BY the way, why was the
ophiclede, with its sharp and sudden blash intro
duced when II was much out of character, A
fine solemn air, Pro peccats sue gentls,c was
then given by Ronconi with his usual felicity.
The first part Of the hymn (or il was divided
most mnaturally) concluded with a recitative by
Lablache and the chorus, of a very grand and ef-
ective character. In the second part we were pre-
sented with quartet, " Sancta mater istud agas'
A sweet and touching cavatina, by GRAHAM; and
noble and animated air and chorus " Inhammatus
ct accensus," the solor parts of which were beau
fulv given nv Persian
