1t is very possible for US to sympathize
with our correspondent, because she un-
doubtedly believes that the high price OF
opera seats is based upon the desire of
managers TO make as much as possible out
of the inusic-loving public; but the truth
is, that opera in rnerica does not pay. The
cost OF such performances as were given at
the Lafa yette Square Opera House on Mon-
day, Tuesday and Friday nights of last
week must have been very close to the
receipts at the box office, IL, ;nleed, it
did not exceed them.

Square opera House, il filled with the most

ton are expensive. 1t is not fair to
blame theatrical managers for not giving
