On Saturday evening, March %, Donlzetti's Bell
sario was performed at the Italian Opera House for
| the DEBUT OF Sig. Fornasari, the celebrated bass
singer, who has arrived for the first time in
England. This opera was produced there some four

been now received with great favor. The STANDARD

| spiritual nature Although she does wonderful
physical things, there is no apparent bodily exer-
ton; her art conceals all effort she seems animated
solely by the impulses of her benign and exuberan
spirits
