The arrival of the Italian troupe from Havana
the musical world darns the past week We
had the pleasure, Friday evening in common
with one Of the largest and most delighted audi
of the Atlantic Of listening to the opera Of Ernani
formed by them at the Park Theatre And we again
present Saturday evening at their at the Ia
bernace. The prima donna Signorina Tedosco, whose
reputation for beauty had preceded her, but whose
seal talents Fame had scarcely brought to us
ceived on both occasions with applause aud enthusi
richly merited by the finest voice. and the most
qusite style OF singing we nave heard IN New ork since

could have exceed. Signor Perelli Of the four
print tenori attached to the company has but slender
voice. and rather insignificant physique but the de-
lcacy of his style the perfection of his method in
dictate a consummate artist. He is q maestro Of some
reputation being the composer Of three four operas
full which he allows to degenerate into extrava
gance exaggeraion. We have heard that he the
favorte at Havana. He is maestro Of voloncslo and
scholar of the conservatory of Naples He has sung
at the San Carlo and at Palermo his wife prima dom
attached to the company. Vita has fine face
the dignity Of his acting his uniform proprety of
and the entire absence of effort in his singing
points in which other artists might initiate him
with advantage to themselves.
The most astonishing performer in tho whole CON-
pany is Botsni the player Of the contro basso The
hbiting Of his wonderful powers at the Tabernacle,
brought down thunders of applause and enthusiasm.
Botsin Ia young man, not yet two and twenty, who
enjoys universally in Italy tho reputation Of the first

full strength Of his fingers This great that 1t is
said that he could squeeze with hand ordinary
pewter mug out of all shape. Probably this account
his notes somewhat richer Sd fuller than Bosns
hut in execution and taste he only his equal Ora
gonetti at the time heard him, a somewhat
advanced in life while Botsni is mere boy Signor
Roman the author Of tho Hbret Of nearly all Beinis
operas and of many others, and who il now famous
musical critic in Milan, said recently, that formerly
people went to the Sera TO learn to sing from the artists
the stage but that ut the time he spoke they went
there to learn to sing from hearing Botsin play the
double bass We hope to have other opportunities Of
hearing Bosn the return of the troupe from Boston
What was perhaps after ALL the most satisfactory to
in the present company, was the perfection OF tho
choruses the excellence of the orchestra, the perfect
harmony in the whole performances In word, the i'm
mense superiority Of the filling up of the opera.
