Mr.. Abbey having Gagged the finest flock OF song
birds heard In New-York in many long years, the
opera house having been rebuilt and the popular
appetite wheted by deprivation. it is to be fancied
that the opera season will have a brilliant beginning
tomorrow evening. The circumstances Of the open
ing night will bring back memories OF the first
night at the Metropolitan ten years ago. Faust
chosen then for the dedication of the house. and
society all agog to see how sumptuous picture
It could make within the walls of the new play
house. Nine Nilsson was the Margheria Of the
occasion, and her associates were Nine Scalchi,
Signor Campanni. Mile Louise Lablache Sgnor
Del Puente and Sgnor Novara. The cast tomorrow
night will be that upon which Mr.. Abbey leaned as
the strongest prop of his season two years ago:
Nine. Eames, as Margherta; Mhe. Scalchi. Siebel;
Nine Bauermeister, Marta; Jean de Reszke. as
Faust: Edouard de Reszke, Mehstofele. and NJ.
Lassalle. Valentino. Signor Mancinelli will con-
duct the opera. Nothing could look more suspicious
than this announcement. On Wednesday evening
"Phlemon ct Baucis'' will be produced and also
"Cavaeria Rusticana. the interest of the occasion
being heightened, moreover. by the debuts of Nine
Sigrid Arnoldson, Nine Emma Calve and Messrs
Plancon. Maugiere Dufrche and Vignas. Nine
Media, the brightest uminary in the constellation
will not shine in this work. Faust" will be
peated on Saturday afternoon, and Friday night
