OF novelties we have two classes hose positively

first category does not comprise more than works
but they will both be found 70 contain the elements
Of great artistic interest, united iii one case with
those intrinsic considerations which. although I'M
connected with pure art. hardly fail excite
lively and natural degree Of anticipation. We
refer TO the production Of new grand opera,

brother Of Prince Albert. This work after having
been originally produced we believe. on the

of consunmate musician, bringing strong ndi-

Of the resources which he possesses. The opera Of

and sterling treat
Among the conditional announcements is one that
"an opera by the great maestro, Neyerbecr, will
be, most probably. produced during the season,
written expressly for Nine. Sontag." OF Meyer
beers operas never be said to be certain
until the curtain actually rises upon them. The
great maestro is very fastdious parsonage. and, as
he does not write for considerations Of personal adj
vantage he can always afford to keep back his pro-
auctions long az he pleases, and that is some
times tolernbly considerable time. However, We
shall be delighted in the present instance TO hope
for the best and whether the limited work be
touched version ofthe long promised Camp OF Sie-
sia.' or a perfectly new opera, the world will be
equally delighted to hail it.
