The Opehas, Etc. Mu. Gye Announces The O...
THE OPEHAS , ETC . Mu . Gye announces the opening of the Royal Italian Opera season at the Lyceum Theatre on Tuesday next . He is supported by all the celebrities and favourites whom we hare been accustomed to greet at Cove NT Garden , with the one great exception of Madame Viakdot , who , it nppears , will be the crowning grace and strength of the company now forming for Her Majesty's Theatre . Mr . " Gye pays a handsome and deserved acknowledgment to the artists who spontaneously proposed a modification of the terms of their engagement on a scale adapted to the exigencies of so ( comparatively ) small a salle as the Lyceum . Without such a modification , indeed , Mr . Gye truly says it would have been impossible to open the season at all . Even now , we shrink from analyzing the probabilities of a commercial success for so vast an undertaking on so small a stage ; but , we can . have no doubt that Mr . Gye will be generously supported by the aristocracy of the boxes and stalls , and by the public of the pit and gallery ; and , in any case , he will have the satisfaction of keeping his company together , whilst he is constructing the new and grander Opera House which he projects for next year . With regard to the programme of the Royal Italian Opera for the present season , there was a word or two in a recent number of the Athenaeum , containing , as we think , so much apt and sound suggestion , that we cannot forbear from quoting the passage : — " But while the Where of the Opera question is mere idle talk , its What is of grave consequence . Good music ( in the case of Opera allowed to stand for " good composition , " or " good execution" ) will draw a public and keep it together : and good music is subject to some conditions of place . There 5 s no playing Li Prophete within the " wooden O" of a pill-box , nor putting L'Etoile with , its tliree military bands oa a shallow stage . Les Huguenots must have a massive cboru 3 , or ib becomes alike meagre and noisy . We cannot look forward with any comfort of heart to a possible Jtforma , or Semiramide , or Lucrezia a-t th . 3 Lyceum . But Le Comte Ory will possibly gain l > y being transferred thither , and we should rejoice there to meet the Matrimonio , or the Figaro of Mozart , or other of the elder and more delicate Operas . If a new work be mounted , it
should be—to continue our line of argument—La Domino Nob : These hints are thrown out while there is time ; yet we have small confidence in any management suiting its ends to its means , though by attending to the necessary fitness of things a speciality might be derived from the very calamity which ha 3 of necessity reduced the performances of the season within a space so limited . " The truth is , the Lyric Drama has been carrying us farther and farther away from Italian Opera , and a return , if only for one season , to pure music would be most acceptable to many besides old-fashioned operagoers . v _ Her Majesty ' s Theatre is advertised to open in May . We believe great exertions are being naade to give iclat to this auspicious event- Agents are scouring the Continent for singers and for danseuses . The chief singers will be for the most part new to the English public : the Ballet will as heretofore constitute a principal attraction in the forthcoming programme . Madlle . Piccolo mini in La Traviata , and Madlle . RosATiin Lie Corsaire , are promised . "We are glad to hear that Mr . Balfe will resume the post of ehefd ' orchestre . The rumours of the dilapidated condition of the house are , it seems , very much exaggerated ; and by the way , another rumour , that tie Duke of Bedford declines to permit another Covektt Garden Theatre to be built , is also we believe , incorrect . Oa the contrary , the Duke is willing and anxious to give every facility to the construction of a new Opera House on the ruins of the old . Mr . Give ' s new scheme embraces a Music Hall for concerts : such a hall we presume as London does not yet possess ^ Picco has been giving a series of nine concerts at the St . James's Theatre , assisted by an efficient orchestra , under the direction of Mr . A . Mellon . These concerts have proved increasingly attractive . The Parisian Automata ( from the Great Exhibition ) are now to "be s ^ en at the Egyptian Hall , next door to Mr . Albert Smith ; These automata are really a wonderful specimen of ingenuity , quite unique in their life-like reality . It is almost distressing to think what labour of invention and contrivance the figures must have cost ; but we have only to speak of the result , as an exhibition to which we can honestly recommend a visit .

The IsTational Debt . —( From the London Gazette of Tuesday April 8 . )—The Lords Commissioners of Her Majesty ' s ' Treasury having certified to the Commissioners for the reduction of the National Debt that there - \ vas no surplns of actual revenue over tlie acbiial expenditure of the united kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland for the year ended the 31 st day day of December , 1855 , the Commissioners for the reduction , of the National Debt here"by give notice that no sum will be applied by them on account of the sinking fund , tinder the provisioias of a & t 10 George IV ., can . 27 . between the 1 st day of April , 1856 , and the 30 th day of June 1856 . ^—A .
