The brief season Of five performances of Ital-
ian opera at McYicker's, under the. direction Of
Mr.. Maretzek, closed yesterday afternoon with
The Daughter Of the Regiment" with, Mma.
Lucca in the title role. 4 detailed no!os Of this
performance is deferred. The season. in general
has been very decided success; attistically and
pecuniarily. The audiences hare been large,
with the exception Of q single evening, and at
two or-three OF the performances tho house was
comfortably crowded. The operas hare been
:" Faust, !" with Mmo. Lucca;. "hlartha," with
Miss Kellogg; "Mignon'"' and 'Don Gioyanni"
with both prime donne; and "The Daughter Of
the Regiment" with Nine. Lucca. The most seri-
ouH objection to the season wss that: with but
one exception, no opera was presented in which
Nine. Lucca had not already appeared before
tue Chicago public. The operas OF .L'Africains,"
The Huguenots,'' y and 'tDer Freyschuetz," !" hold
q prominent place in this 1ady's ropertory, and it
would hare' been gratifying II one or moro
of them had been presented The. main
reason why this was not the cage is TO be found
in Mr.. Maretzek's desire that the accessories OF
his operas ahou1d be complete and satisfactory,
aud he feared that this was impossible IN the
present seaaon. Fortunately, the pleasure: Of
seeing Nine. Lucca in wide range Of operas is
only deferred, and not 1ost. It is probable that
she will return to Chicago some time during oc-
It is definitely arranged that Nine Lucca shall
spend another year in America Although the
lady is announced in IN extended List Of operatlc
stars to appear in London during the summer
Beason, she will not return to Europe. She will
spend the summer months among tho NOUN
tains in absolute rest, aud resume, under Mr.
Maretzek's management, in the fall season. Dir.
Maretxek will retain II. janet and Signor Viz
zani in his company, and will add q new tenor,
new prima donna: and new contralto, thus
STRENGTHENING his organization for the coming
season. Nine. Lucca has made deep impress
sion on tho Chicago musical public, Which will
welcome her, back at all timea with . glad and
Mr. Max Strakosch will also be in the field
next season with an Italian opera troupe Of
much pretepsion. The leading feature will be-
iu the perron Of Mile. Nilsson, whose appear-
ance in opera will be particularly gratifying to
the Chicago public, as she did not appear in this
city in the operatic tour Of her second year in
America During that time Chicago had no
house for operas, and was pretty busify engaged
With more serious business. Ihe detalis OF M:--
6trakosch's Italian season have not yet been
fully announced, but he promises drst-class
company with Arditi, the celebrated composer,
Rs the leader OF his orchestra. e. -
The Matotzek troupe take special train TO-
day tor Milwaukee, where q short season. OF
opera.;c performances will be given. The gem
