Tiberni, the new tenor who (as we mentioned last week)

has made his debut at the Royal Italian Opera, though not a performer de kr premiere force, is an actor and singer of considerable merit, and pro- mises to be a useful addition to Mr. Gye's company. The opera in which he appeared, La Favorites of Donizetti, was repeated on Satur- day and Tuesday last, and on each night his reception was more and more favourable. This opera, the subject of which is as interesting as the music is beautiful, is admirably represented, Csillag being the heroine, Faure the King, and Zelger the Priest Baldassare—and has been one of the best and most successful performances of the season.
