The French Opera Comiaue In New York.
Italian Opera has taken to wandering about
the country, like the gypsies and the organ
grinders. In New York it no longer has
local habitation. The Academy catacombs
are still in ruins, and there seems to be no
probability Of their being rebuilt within a
year, since the stockholders cannot agree upon
any definite plan. We may have Italian con-
certs during the winter, with such excellent
artists as Mazzoleni, whose voice is fully re-
stored, and Brignoli, who has not yet lost his
voice but Italian Opera will be q matter Of
faith with our citizens until new opera house,
new company and new management make
it q reality at some distant future date.
But the great natural law Of compensation
has provided rs with an entertainment that
will take the place Of Italian Opera and be
even more acceptable. Manager Juignet has
engaged company Of admirable French
artists and will inaugurate season
Of French Opera Comique at the French
theatre, on Fourteenth street, next Tues
day evening. The recent reforms in the
drama at Paris, and especially the liberty
of the theatres granted by the Emperor Ma
poleon, have enabled Monsieur Juignet to Sc
cure q better troupe Of actors and vocalists
than he has ever before imported. He has
beautiful theatre at his disposal, with new
scenery and appointments. The light, charm
ing operas of the French school are popular in
all the rest of the world and cannot fail to be
so here. Everything is in Monsieur Juignet's
favor, and it will be his own fault if his enter
prise is not entirely successful.
There are many reasons why the French
Opera Comique will prove more attractive than
the Italian Opera ever was. Our citizens do
not understand Italian, except when inter-
preted by such a.transcendent genius as Ris-
tori; but almost every lady and gentleman
speaks or comprehends French. Few Of the
airs Of the Italian Opera catch the popular ear.
Young ladies may strain over them and barrel
organs squeak them out; but nobody sings or
whistles them for enjoyment The lively melo-
dies Of the French operettas, on the other
hand, will be literally in the mouths
ofall the people. The Italian Opera in its best
days was never patronized by the masses 1t
was attended only by certain select class >,
who went because they thought it the fashion.
The French Opera will be both fashionable and
popular. Everybody who likes to be amused,
who admires fine acting, who appreciates good
singing and who is fond Of hearty laugh will
go to the French theatre, without waiting to
know whether Madame Hautton approves Of
the performance or not But so far Is fashion
is concerned, the subscribers for Manager
Juignet's season comprise the elite Of the city,
who win crowd the cosey private boxes while
the music loving masses more than fill the par
quet and dress circle. As relief from the
excitement Of Ristori's wonderful acting, the
Opera Comique viii be most welcome, and we
have no doubt that after the inaugural season
it will become permanent institution OF this
