The Italian Opera opened for the season on Tuesday, with Mose in Egli& ; in which three new artists, MM. Angelini, Everardi, and Carrion, made a successful debilt.

At the Academie, the Duke of Saxe Gotha's opera, Santa Chiara, was pro- duced on Thursday the 27th September, in presence of the Emperor and the Ducal composer. The plot is based on the supposition that the Princess Charlotte, wife to Alexis, the unfortunate son of Peter the Great, did not die at the time recorded by history, but eluded her enemies by means of a narcotic, and settled in a Neapolitan village as a rural benefactress, canon- ized by a grateful population. The German libretto is from the pen of Madame Birch-Pfeiffer.
