The representation OF Lucia" by the
Italian Opera Company at Booths Theatre last
evening WAS notable only In that II brought be-
fore the public Mr.. strakoschs new prima
donna. Miss Maria Litta.
The programme refers TO her unrivalled i'm
personation Of LuGid." but the programme Of
Monday evening also referred TO the Amondsro

and this II seems Is not So the character having
originally been assumed by another artist. 1t
Is quite possible therefore that the managerial
programme is in like manner in error in as
Stunning that Miss Litta's imporsonation Of
Lucia is unrivalled."
The young lady has q fresh and unaffected
voice and manner. and has evidently been well
taught in her art; but her gifts as a singer are
not great. and as an actress they are in
different. She IL not handsome In faco
or figure. nor especially graceful. Her
voice. as we have said. 10 fresh and youthful.

nasal. and Il has apparently no great compass

attempts but little in this direction. Most ar
