OF favorite operatic principals, as well as q
large chorus, will present for the first time in

house. Byrne and Kerker's comic opera,

Hopper Thomas Seabrooke, Miss Anna

and 1t is claimed that the opera VIII pe
presented in this city with every de-
tail that characterized the metropolitan
production. The company. including the Or
chestra, it is claimed, numbers seVenty'elgnt
people. The costumes and settings are prop
ably as handsome MS ANYTHING seen IN this
city this season, certainly superior to any
thing seen here in opera. Castles IN the
Air is described as an opera OF exceedingly
light vein. The story is OF little consequence,
but the situations are comical in the ex-
treme, and the wit is as bright and sparkling
as can be imagined. The characters are ex-
cellently drawn and afford the principal
actors fine opportunities. Mr.. Hopper ap-
