Under date of April Bth, our London i correspondent writes: Madame Bosina Buckman is in London again, and lias appeared at Covent Garden as "Nail" (by Isidore de Lara), the Eastern story with a tragic end, for Nail, fearful of | her own future, drinks poison to prove I her loyalty. Tho setting and the dresses are very beautiful, and there is a delightful dance in a Moorish cafe, but ■ somehow the opera has not yet gripped , London. All the critics are very comj plimentarv to the singing of the New [ Zealand heroine, and the "Morning | Post" remarks: "Unfortunately Eastern I local colour in its time musicai terms is not very acceptable to Wsstern people, and hence tho public did not betray i any anxiety to hear the opera. This does not mean that it is an unworthy opera, for there is much that is good, but it is not of the kind to be comprehended by all." There is a great demand for tickets for the Garrison Bali to be held at the King Edward Barracks next Tuesday, e.vening. In view of the decision to i limit the number of + i"kets to be issued ; it is desired that e* se who have rc- ; ccived and accepter invitations to at- ■ tend tho function should make early j application at the Officers' Club for their tickets.
