text excerpt

My management at the Opera this season was going on triumphantly. Winter produced 
a new serious opera, entitled "L'Amore Fraterno." The music was very fine. Mrs. 
Billington was the Heroine, and sang with all her usual fascination, ably 
supported by the two tenor singers Viganoni and Braham. Winter also composed the 
music of the grand ballet of "Achilles," which was excellent ; as well as the 
ballet itself, composed by D'Egville, who in this, as well as many other pieces 
of a similar nature, has proved himself a great master of his art. His powerful 
acting, and that of the graceful and handsome Deshayes, will long be remembered.
