THE ITALIAN OPERA.-The Milan opera Company
deserved a much larger audience than that which
greeted Its opening at the National Theater last
evening and lovers OF the lyrc drama who failed

excellence. Indeed. In most respects the perform
ance was one OF the most finished, complete. and
satisfactory given here In many years. It Is true
