The German company at Drury Lane have performed the Zauberfote
twice this week. It was not less satisfactory as a whole, and eveu more satisfactory in its individual parts, than the performances of this company have usually been. The part of! Sarastro was sustained by Herr Formes, a bass-singer of great German reputation; which his acting and singing did not belie. A new tenor, Herr Bahrdt, appeared to advantage in Tamino. The difficult music of the Queen of Night was well sung by Madame von Romani; and Madame Marlow was a lively and pleasing Papagena. The choruses were admirable. We observe with pleasure that this company in- tend to prolong their stay.
