We had just time to partake of a sumptuous dinner at the table d’hôte of our house, and drive off to the Italian Opera. We had here Paisello’s [sic] delightful composition, ‘II Re Theodoro.’ As far as the band was concerned, we were highly gratified, but it was vexatious to hear a chef-d’œuvre of such acknowledged merit murdered by the most infamous set of singers I ever heard. Excepting Crivelli and a passable comic singer, there was not one fit to exhibit on a country stage. Scenery very good; house poor and shabby; orchestra about fifty musicians. |
