The HuEuenOts.
Meyerbeer's great opera of the Hugue-
nots," en- account of its historical interest
and faithfulness, its splendid and solemn
music, It's grand and sOmbre scenery, should
beheard by every lover Of the arts in New
Orleans. And we trust so admirable a
company as the one now performing at the
Preach opera house will be generously
sustained. 1t is not often that we can hear
better or more severely disciplined voices,
and we can assure all lovers OF good music
that they will be fully repaid for going to see
the Huguenots or any other opera
brought out by this company.
