The rendition of this once popular
opera will be given at the Opera House
this evening. This time it will be under
the direction OF Mrs. Hayes, who will
be assisted by Que hundred children OF
this city. Ths principals will come
from Philadelphia. After thorough
rehearsal the children have become
very proficient and undoubtedly will
please their friends.
Oar readers will bs favored at an
early date at the Opera House, with
the opera "The Pirates of Penzance. !"
The piece is composed by the author of
'Pinafore," and ia said to b. much
superior to that opera. The text is
excruciatingly funny, the plot more
elaborate and interesting, and the
satire more deftly concealed and more
generally applicable to the everyday
experiences of life than anything to be
found in the works of Mr.. Gilbert, ex-
cepting, perhaps, his famous satirical-
comedy of "Engaged."
