THE 81, CHARLEs, The grand opening of the /
Ghoni and Susini Italian Opera, under the direct
orship Of Max Strakosch, took place last evening |
at the St. Charles, and we are pleased to announce
was brilliant success. The dress circle and par
quette Of the theater were filled with the elite of
the city while the upper circles Of the house were
also well patronized. The rich toilets of the audi
ence, with the attending parapharnalia OF fans,
opera glasses and bouquets, presented most
magnificent scene, and made one suppose the
St. Charles was the garden of beauty and love
The overture by the orchestra, preceding the
opera, was given in mastery style, and reflects
much credit on the talented leader, Senior Nicolao.
The orchestra is full and under his direction was
very effective throughout the entire rendition OF
Verdis IL TrovatQre, this being the opera which
last night inaugurated the season. The choruse
throughout were full and the most thoroughly i'll
natured could not possibly find fault; while for the
| principal characters, we may in passing more
/ fully remark Signor Ettore IrfrG, the world-re
| nowned primo tenore, made his first bow to a New
1 Orleans audience, in his high dramatic role of
! Maurice, and the furore which he
created was another fattering proof of his
ability In the third act, his high G, or nj de
poitrirte, in the aria Di qsceItu pira, was indeed
| grand and in the fourth act, The Miserere,"
4 would alone stamp 1rfre as the equal of Mario
1 or Lamberlick. No lover of the grand and proper
Interpretation Of the tenor roles should fait hear
/ him. The world.renowHed Mme Patti Strakosch,
Il in her impersonation Of AzueeHd, was perfect
throughout the piece. She was in excellent voice
and her Eta la igaort, in the second act, was en-
i cored repeatedly. She is "the Prima Donna
A Contralto of the operate Stage" Her
1 splendid voice, good acting, and personal
attractions, doubtless add much to the fame Of
the troupe. Nine Angolini Ghioni, the prima
donna assoluta, iii her great role of LenorG, was
) delightful. She was in excellent voice, her
toilet in the various acts was superb, and in the
rendition Of The Miserere, in the fourth act,
with Signor Trfr5, the audience highly appre-
ciated her talent as an artistic by rounds Of
applause. Signor Maria and Signor CoIetti were,
as usual, good in their roles Of Count Dj
L1e25 and Fernando, as was also Signora
Parozzi as Tqez. At the conclusion
Of the opera, the smiling faces of the
retiring audience well attested their entire salts
J faction with its rendition. Tonight, Nerdi's
grand (and hest) opera, "Ernani,n will be rem
dered, upon which occasion the appearance Of
the renowned Primo Basso Profundo, Sig. Angus
tino Susini is announced, in his role of DUO De
StlUd. II is stated that he has entirely regained
his voice, and rare musical treat may be ex-
pected by the visitors to the ST. Charles tonight
Sig. Irfr6 also appears this evening in the role OF
Iraant.
THE VAR1ETIEs.-As we anticipated this thea
= ter was crowded last evening to witness the popu
! lar Irish drama of g Arrah-naPogue Manager
, Floyd sustained the character Of ShGuR-nd- p oSt
and it is almost unnecessary to sayit was well and
faithfully impersonated. To Hear him sing z The
Wearing Of the Green" is alone worth the price Of
! admission. Mrs. Chanfrau, and the rest Of the
company did well in their casts; the new scenery
was elegant, and the complicated machinery Of
the piece worked WELL A highly remuuerative
7 success evidently attends the running of this
! popular Irish drama. 1t will be again presented
/ tonight.
? THE ACADEMY.-The managers of this fayorite
: theater appear never to tire in producing novel
ties, and their endearors to please are well appre
, ciated by the crowded houses which nightly greet
their varied and highly interesting and amusing
performances. The Hanlon Brothers, Clinetop
Sisters, Johnny Thompson and the host Of other

The acrobatie feats of the Hanlon Brothers are
unexcelled, while singing, dancing, the real Afic
and pantomime are always among the presenta-
tons Of the programme. A full and interesting
performance is announced for this evening.
