All lovers Of opera bCuffe in its best presenta-
tion as we'll as all who appreciate the pure allie
gro spirit Of music and the genuine talent of its
truest expression, ought to resort to the National
theatre during the evenings Of this week. to enjoy
the representation OF the brightest of the gay
positions in which Offenbach, HeWe and LIE Coco
have We'd for the palm of most complete amuse-
ment-"Le PubliQue s'Amuse." EVerybod en-
Joys the harmless RIGHTEOUSNESS, the sparkling
fun and melOdious mirth which have character
lied these operas for the major part Ohenbach
was sole monarch of the school while the pleasant
music Of LA Grande Duchesse'' and La Belle
Helenen was sung in every parlOr and by every
quickened street Arab.
None Of the preceding creations of Lscocq
seemed strong and distinctive enough in musical
character to claim parallel hold upon the public
taste, sweet and pleasant though they were. But
"GirOfle Grofa" has sprung from creative
ishings Of the lyric muse in her brightest mood,
and filled with more Inspirations than pertain to
laughing Momus alone. It is the most exquis-
itey bright and beautiful Of its class. Strains Of
rich mirth and comic fun are generously mingled
with such airy. inetfsbly sweet and harmonious
music as the "Guenraen" might have dared to or
"fairy fOlk'' have followed in their noiseless
steps upon the yellow sands"
From first to last the musical meanings of the
opera seem to have suggested the situations of
the plot, so perfectly do the musical and dra-
matte characters unite and express each other.
or the troupe now performing this opera great
praise would not be extravagant Each repre-
sentative Of the chief roles is artist OF decided
merit. Their personal attractions are SUPERIOR
skilled. The beauty Of Mile CoraIIe is of that
type most desirable In the expression OF the spirit
OF her dual Toie-with mirth and delicacy, rounded
and graceful, fair and regular, brilliant yet vsr
able in great degree. NIinell is q superb artist
and beautiful woman and her voice has great
power and richness All the artists possess iue
stage presence and unfailing esprit IN their roles
In fine the troupe is exceptionally good in all
considerations. Where is Genot? Many looked
for groIesque dance from him.
