THE OPERAS . Madame Alboki appeared in ia Sonnambufa on Tuesday , an opera somewhat dinimed by the traditions of vanished . Amitms , but ever dear to the general Xdridon audience . If there was"something not ep ^ irely yraisew&lalife . m the appearance of the present AwZiid , ; ( ft , was fbrgd ^ eu in the delightful -naivete and goodnature of her face , and in the luxury of listening to her voice . Ihe supreme charm of listening to Amboni is the confidencevyoift 1 m » 'd ^ ii sthtefresources of het voiccf , but in sincerity we must say that now for the ; 'iirst tMtio we found her singing with a certain eflprt . Pecliaps it is not inexcusable to regret that this transcend « int artist , so richly endowed by nature and a pupil of Rossini , should have felt yi at ease withfhthe narrow range of parts allotted to this contra ; Up , and should hove been ^ mptcd to force her extraordinary powers . That she is still the most pe ' rfeot singer living-we think there can be no question , but has her voice not suffered—wo do not Bay it has not succeeded—in the attempt to be—two voices ? " .,
