The Teatro Fiorentino is the most fashionable for the comic opera ; it is about the size of the little theatre in the Haymarket. The first opera I saw there was the " Italian in London," (from Voltaire,) composed by Cimarosa. From this drama the elder Colman took the plot of his comedy of the " English Merchant." They had at that time excellent performers. The celebrated Genaro Luzzio was the primo buffo, and the principal female, La Coltellini, was delightful, both as a comic actress and singer. |
