ROssINI's MASS.

The first production in America of Rossini's
Messe Sotennee is announced for the 10th OF April 1t
will take place not steinway Hall heretofore
announced but at the Academy Of Music-a change
which we believe the public will heartily applaud. Stein
way Hall has larger seating capacity than the
Academy-a fact Of which believe most persons are
not awarebut the opera house is better suited for the
gathering OF the brilliant and fashionable audiences
which this last work OF the great master OF italian melody
will undoubtedly attract Foreign critics unanimous
in their praises OF the Mass and after all due allow
ance has been made for the enthusiasm SO apt TO be
aroused by the poshumous production OF the works OF
one Just taken away from earth-a sort OF
spotheosis to which all the great names In literature
and art subjective have abundant reason TO believe
that the Messe Solennee is of the finest OF all Ros
snis works The solo parts In Mr. Strakoschs distD-
ton arc allotted Miss Kellogg Madame Tesla, and
sgnor Boet, and Antonucci; the chorus, we are as
sured will be strong and the orchestra everything that
O reasonable man could wish Mr.. Max Maretzek has
the direction Of affairs and therefore we may be sure
that they will be directed carefully and integently
MADAME PAREPA-RoSA.
The temperance of Madame Parepa-R Rosa
is the musical event Of tonight and will no doubt draw
gay and gtterng crowd to MT stenway's hospitabie
doors. A new tenor. Mr.. Nordblom, young SWede OF
whom report speaks highly will make his debut on this
interesting occasion. Tomorrow evening Madame Rosa
purposes rowling that languid but most commendabe
institution the oratoro 1t is not The seasons which
she purposes presenting-as We erroneousy sara INC
other day-but "The Creation" So much the better.
