THE OPERA AT THE AcaDENY-BRrLLIASr
PRoSpEcTs.-About eight or nine months ago,
when it was announced that Mr.. Ullman,
backed by Mr.. Thalberg, had become the lessee
of the Academy of Music, and that the Opera
at that house would be under the direction of
the first named empresario, IT seemed quite APP
parent to every one familiar with operate ex-
periments that new rfgime was about to COM
mence. Mr.. Ullman went to Europe and
selected an excellent company. He commenced
his season in September, and was overtakcn in
the middle Of that month by the financial re-
vulsion. Notwithstanding this fact, the season
which ended on the 10th of October netted
profit Of fifteen hundred dollars On the 18th
of October a new season was commenced, which
season extended to the last week Of November
and resulted in loss of ten thousand dollars
During this season proposition was made by the
director TO the artists to acc pl a rcdac, 81 of

An unprecedented tUrore s.. ,.na, and the
profits Of the week have been ual to nearly
half the loss on the previous season. With the
attractions promised by the manager aud
seasonablc reduction Of prices, there seems to
be no reasonable doubt that Mr.. Ullman will
give the forty Opera nights demanded by the
condition Of his lease-of which thirty five have
already been giyon-and come out with fair
profit
The success Of this season seems to prove
that there il a growing taste for the Opera
among the general public. The audiences dur
ing this week have included all classes Of our
citizens, and not few strangers In fact. the
Opera is becoming the most popular. as il Is

boltcd the regular democratic ticket at the late
charter election, and voted for Tiemann side by
