OPERATE AND DRAMATIC.
The prevailing feeling of regret and disap-
pointment SO extensively manifested by the
opera-going public of New Orleans will be
somewhat mitigated by the fact that Mrs
Chanfrau's theater, the Varieties will otfer an
exceptions al class of amusements during the
present season. Not only has it opened with
splendid opera company but later, and at
intervals, we are promised equally attractive
musical entertainments. The closing of the
| Opera House tended towards debarring very
large and fashionable class of society from
their ordinary winter amusement, but as Eng
fish is now as thoroughly spoken as the
French language throughout the city, we'll
selected repertoire of dramas and modern
plays will prove nearly, if not quite, as &C.
cep.able.
The present management of the Varieties
seems to have had this eventuality in view
while preparing the winter programme, and
the result is a higher and more varied series
of entertainments than offered in any previous
year upon any of the boards of
our city theaters. Not only is the
stock company engaged an exception
ally superior one, but all the popular combi-
nations and successful novelties have been ar
ranged to follow each other in rapid success
sion.
Heretofore high salaries and heavy expenses
have imposed such burden upon New Or
leans m 1nagers, that they found it almost i'm
possible to engage frstclass talent upon re-
muneratiye terms, but the general shrinkage
has at last invaded the mimic world, as we'll
as the real and less difficulty is now there
fore found in tempting great attractions to
Southern engagements. Mrs. Chanfrau, be-
sides being celebrated as an actress, is re-
nowned throughout the United States for her
refined taste and wealth of accom- plishments.
1t will be her aim to make the Varieties essen
TALLY "ladies' theater," andsa model of its
kind. Herself comparatively wealthy, and
with abundant opportunity to employ all her
professional time to greater advantage in New
York and the adjacent cities, it is with her
more q matter of personal pride and desire
to make distinguishing mark in the artistic
world, that prompts her to undertake such
arduous duties.
No doubt she WAS greatly influenced in this
by the recollection OF olden triumphs achieved
upon its boards, and the happy associations
with which she has ever been surrounded in
the Crescent City. At all events we are happy
in her acquisition. The theater-going public
now possesses a guarantee of excellence new
to it of late years, and society acquires tenn
pie of amusement which will speedily become
as acceptable and popular as ever the Opera
was in its palmest days. Mrs Chanfrau ar
rived in the city on Sunday night, but it will
be several weeks yet before the beauty and
fashion of New Orleans will be afforded the
opportunity of welcoming her back upon the
boards which she has already adorned by her
many graces and her versatile genius.
