THE ITALIAN OPERA IN" ITS NEW HOME . From being originally an English Opera House , the Lyceum , by the strange fortune , or misfortune , of the day , has become a » Italian Opera House . Tuesday evening saw the commencement of Mr . Gye's season ; on which occasion ., the Queen , of course , was present . We say " of course , " because her Majesty has always been gracious to Mr . Gye , and because the peculiar circumstances of the case would naturally engage her sympathies . Prince Albert and the Princess Royai were also present .
The house has been redecorated , &nd is now painted in pale blue , white , and gold . A new chandelier hangs from the roof . The orchestra has been reduced to about fifty performers , and is still under the supremacy of Mr . Costa . The opera on the first night was the Trovatore , which was received with an enthusiasm that speaks well for the prospects of the season . We may remark , however , that , from the large number of stalls which have been made , the public , in the true sense of the word , are nearly excluded , and the audience is almost put on . the footing ; of a coterie . No doubt it cannot be helped under the circumstances ; but , with the present growth of musical love in England , it is to be lame nted .
