I went last night with Granville to see Pisaroni. She sang admirably, but the principal scene consists of her looking at herself and dressing herself at a long glass, praying—that is, singing—to Venus, madre d’Amore, ‘Rendimi più bella.’ I thought the audience would have joined in chorus at so reasonable and desirable a request. She sang it, however, like a sensible woman with all the confidence of youth and beauty, and respect for her wonderful gosier repressed every expression of derision.
