The programme of the ensuing season of the Italian Opera
has been just issued by Mr. LUMLEY. The theatre opens the first week in March, with Madame PERSIANI and Signor CONTI, a "tenor serio, " from Lisbon, in Adclia, an opera by DONIZETTI ; and a new ballet, La Esmeralda, in which PERROT, GUY STEPHAN, and a new danseltse, Mademoiselle DUMILATRE, Will appear. LABLACHE will appear before Easter, with MARIO, Mademoiselle MOLT/NI, and a new basso cantante, Signor FORNASART, from Turin, in lieu of TAMBURINI, who is not en- gaged. Mr. LUMLEY has secured FANNY EL8SLER, in addition to CERITO and TAGLIONI ; so that the ballet will be brilliant. The list of operas includes Linda di Chamouni and Don Pasquale, by DONI- ZETTE ; the Camilla of PAER ; HEROLD'S Zampa ; and Don Carlos by M. COSTA. The names Of MOZART, FIORAVANTI, CLMAROSA, and Bosom, are also mentioned : we hope they will be something more than names.
