pleasingly original a. "Amina' last night, play.
Ing 1t after very winning fashion Of her own
The freshness and naturalness impaired by her to
this hackneyed role was quickly appreciated by
the audience. Her prettily-expressed impotence
while receiving the pertinacious attentions Of
Count ROdolfo, her anxious glances over her
shoulder to see how her lover was taking the
affair, and her winning little arthces to renstate
herself in that jealous young gentleman,s good
opinion, gave great effect to the opening scenes.
The audience, however, expressed its approba-
ton in an odd sort Of way, by calling the
pair before the curtain at the end Of the act :.
and their appearance, hand-in-h hand and decked
In their best applause and boquet-ac cling
smiles, served completely to destroy the illusion
OF the performance, they being supposed, at that
particular juncture, to be hopelessly disunited
and plunged in the very depths of despair.
Stigelli was excellent tElvino.v his STYLE of
voice proving more nearly equal to the part than
had been anticipated.
Amodio, We hardly need say, was thoroughly

The performance on this the closing night of

those present. The opera-ssThe Sicili; n Yes

Is the latest composition of the most eminent
operate composer of the tme and is to be brought
out In style Of completeness and splendor unusual
In this city.
The basis Of this opera, unlike that of many
others, is not merely imaginary or fictitious The
memorable events on which 1t Ia founded occ urred
at Palermo, in Sicily, in 1852, commencing OH
Easter Monday, at the time of vespers. That
island, together with Naples was then under the
rule OF Charles of An ou, brother of ST. Louis of
France, and was garrisoned by French troops,

was all but ripe when a circumstance took place
which ignlted the Combustible materials and
raised flame that did not 20 out until 900
French, one person only excepted, were mas
sacred. This circumstance was an insult COM
mitted by Drochet, French officer, towards
young lady who had Just been married and was
passing homeward with her train from church
The insult was instantly avenged by the Sicilians
with unsparing ferocity, neither sex nor age
nelhS regarded and the churches affording no
sanctuary Charles OF An Ou also lost the country
which fell to the King Of Arragon, in Spain.
Madame Colson, with whom we are all most
sorry to part, will take the part of the Duchess
Elena. Stgelli, Fern, and other favorte per.
