VrKnrs MAcBErH.-On Wednesday night. the
Havana Opera Company at NiDns gave Ne'dIs
Uicbef1. for tie first time IN TINS country. In the
general character Of the music, We were rather
sereeably disappointed Il il altogether NOR
simule and severe than Verbs former operas
while there IS no higher tone ot expression II is
less noisy and not So much weakened by repetition
of thought. l. was, however, AZ Italian Macbeth
from beginning to eui-wiih an Italian Lady Mac
beth aud Italian witches The contrast OF the
tragedy and the opera was continual and pai-
fully kent before rs b. close imitation OF the org

translation Of Shaksperes text the scene on the
heath in the cave, the dagger and banq1etscenc s.
are to strkuely ike L. language and dramat &c
action. For this reason the accessories require d
by the exsencics OF the opera, fail o. their prop er
effect In tlr witch scene, or instance, where
"Mscbetto" receives the same saluta,ions as our
ENGLISH Macbeth. Instead Of three witches there
are three squads Of four each. who deploy back K
ward and forward across the sia-e. and tnal'y Drm
hollow SQUARE around Macbeth and Baaco.
The music Of this part is really nae aud was ad-
mirably sung By the chorus b1t oae's genuine
hkings are always conservative.
