GREET REVIVAL IN THE FAsnroSspLE WORLD
The Broadway Theatre, last evening, presented one
Of those brilliant displays which only take place
at particular epochs, since the first introduction of
the Italian Opera in this metropolis by Mallbran
and Garcia. The Opera was Norma" the frima
donna, Tedetcc--thc rest, somebodies The spIcn-
dor and beauty Of The audience would seem TO in
dictate that the watering places had gwen up their
diviniiies--that Saratoga and Newport had closed
their season. In TACT, il is generally believed in
this region that the grand Fancy Ball. TO come of
this week at Newport, will turn out grand fancy
failure. Thus has the opening Of the opera sea-
son, by the spirited proprietors Of the Broadway,
nearly shut up the fashionable hotels in the rncun-
tains and along the sea shore.
Of the style and manner in which the Opera was
performed last evening We refer our readers to the
usual notices under the appropriate theatrical head.
There the beauty Of Tedesco-,hc science Of No
vell-,he wonders Of the chorus-,he miracles Of
the ballet, are set off with that appropriate and
elaborate putting or praise sufficient to set the
green room of in oxtacies Of delght-and the
rect Of the world in ebulliuons Of meriment.
Have mercy on us, miserable sinners.
