A burlesque parody of Taxidauser, under the title of Tameinherr,
has been brought out at the Varietes, and makes the public, it seems, "laugh consumedly." This is of a piece with the whole treatment which Wagner and his opera have met with from the Parisians, who allowed a cabal to laugh and hoot it off the stage, without giving it even the semblance of a fair hearing. A new prima donna, Mademoiselle Trebelli, has appeared at the Paris Italian Opera, of whom the journals speak very highly. She is described as young and handsome, with a fine mezzo-soprano voice, and much musical and dramatic talent. This theatre closes next week, after a successful season.
