The New York herald. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1840-1920, 1847-11-20

We are at length enabled to give some infor'
nation to the gay world aud to philosophical So
ciety, disclosing the important movements IN the
Italian OPERA for the approaching season, IN this
remarkable city of New York.
In the upper part of Broadway, around Union
square, is congregated a great portion OF the
wealthy, the intelligent, the intellectual, the
CAV, the pious, the honest, and the best educated
society of New York. Many of the private resi-
dences there are built in style OF elegance and
splepdor that would do honor to Hyde Park in
London, or the fashionable fauborgs in Paris.
The churches and coach houses are constructed
on the same principles of Gothic and Grecian
taste. They have nearly finished a new Italian
Opera House, of large dimensions, of elegant
structure, which finishes and completes the fash
ionable region OF New York.
During the past few days various preliminary
meetings have been held and arrangements made,
for the purpose of bringing forth this refined
amusement in manner never before attempted
in this country. We have been furnished with
several lists of parties connected with this move
ment, which are represented to us as correct, and
we therefore give them:--
