The OPERA very full and fashionable
house last night greeted the first appearance Of
the Opera Troupe of Manager Strskosch in
Washington. There was hardly q vacant seat
in the house, all being occupied, as far - We
could perceive, by well-known musical anna
teurs and professionals, of whom the Federal
Metropolis embraces perhaps more than are TO
be found in any city of its size in the world, out
of Italy. 1t is the result Of the collection Of
50 many persons of fine attachments and travel
here, in connection with public affairs. The
eminently practical turn Of Strakosch was man
ifest in the triumph of the evening entertain
ment, in which every thing was quietly rem.
dered, with precise correctness and in admirable
taste. We have long regarded Parodi as the finest
vocal artist in this country since the S1Parturs
Of Jenny Lind, and her rendition of the role of
Leonera on this occasion justified this opinion.
She sings with less exertion than any of her
rivals, and renders far fewer grateing notes.
Thus her vocalizatiOn is remarkably even
straining nothing, and making most of all the
opportunities of her score. The manner in
which the Miserers scene before the prison, was
given, proves that We can have opera in the
United States, such as would delight the musical
of any city Of Italy. Indeed, We almost dou bt
whether, anywhere, the particular scene men,
toned above can at this moment be rendered
more satisfactorily than by Parodi, Brignoli
and Amodio. To our taste, it is, pehaps, the
gem of TToratore; though we confess that, from
its commencement to the end, new beauties
manifest themselves to our ear, in all the
changes of its wonderfully -melodious harmony
Tonight, Madam Colson appears in Verdi,
beautiful fantasy, TraUiata-than which nc
other opera of late composition more keenly
delights the unsteady educated. Though not
so perfect and elaborate a composition a,
Tropatore it is replete with beautiful passages
rolv in toll r. L
OF any other opera, and therefore it never pals
upon the ear of any. Madame Strakosch, by
the by, took the audience by surprise las
evening, no one here being prepared to find
her 30 wonderfully improved in her profession
Though still very young, she rendered the role
OF Assocena with power, grace, and faultless
precision, throwing into it all the melancholy
tenderness its score is designed to represent
Besides, her acting was that Of finished artist
