The Opera ut the Cntncombs.

The 'last nights" Of 'Turne" at the
Academy of Music are already announced.
Notwithstanding the recognized attractions of
the late William Vincent Wallace's grand ro-
mantle opera-the intensity of its dramatic
passages, the delciousness of its exquisite
melodies, the vigor and fulness of its orches-
tral accompaniments Notwithstanding its va
rfety of scenes well painted and nicely set,
and its happy arrangement of lights, particu-
larly in the grotto scene of the second act, in
which Bonfanu and her nimble-footed COM
panions almost revived the waning passion
for the ballet; Notwithstanding the general
curiosity to witness the first representation in
this country Of work which, when originally
produced at Covent Garden, London, in 1850,
had splendidly successful run of one hundred
and twenty-six nights; notwithstanding the
s'happy thought" of bringing it out on alternate
evenings, in both Italian and English in fine,
Notwithstanding all the chances in it's favor,
'Iurlne" has proved failure at the Academy
of Music.
T. Why is this SOP We can only reply, first,
that the avariciousness of the stockholders,
impelling them to cling to their exclusive
privileges-sometimes even with dog-in-the-
manger-like tenacity-must be counted in as
reason secondly, that the Academy Of Music
has inevitably shared the fate Of every 'ban-
quet hall deserted, and has irretrievably lost
the prestige of which it could boast before the
>ominous placard Removed" might have been
posted on its doors. 1t is difficult to bring
back customers to an old shop when 1t has
once been shut up, although it may be opened
at long intervals, and display of faded pat
terms may occasionally be made in the win
dows. For long time the Academy of Music
has been closed except to political meetings,
Japanese entertainments and masked balls.
1t has suffered only from rare attacks of inter-
mittent opera, and has become too shaky to
endure many more. 1t must be in very bad
way indeed when not even the spells of
<sLurline" can save it from its doom.
The stockholders of the Academy of Music
might well have profted by the lesson of
liberality and success afforded by the stock
holders of the French theatre, in Fourteenth
street. The pursuit of a directly opposite line
of management has led to directly opposite
and fortunate results in the case of the latter
And the return of Mr.. Graus opera bouffe
company next week will doubtless be followed
by snccess with Herv6's ''Chilperic" as bril-
liant as the failure of Wallace's 'Lurline" has
been deplorably gloomy.
