GERMAN OPKRA.-The German Opera has failed
completely failed-and considerable interest is mani
tested to know what has become of their funds
They have received considerable amount of
money but have not paid their bills and it is hoped
therefore, that they will at least explain.
We believe, however, that German Opera, pro.
perly conducted, would yet succeed in this city
and we understand two gentlemen, OF musical taste
and ability, are about sending an agent to Germany,
with the intention OF bringing out operate troupe
embracing every variety OF talent. If it Is condnct-
ed on right principles, the enterprise must prosper.
