THEATRE ROYAL.—MONTAGUETURNER ESGLISH OPERA COMPANY.—"FAUST."
TriK repetition of ".Faust " last night drew a good house. The impersonation ot Marguerite by Miss Annis Montague justifies lor it the highest terms of eulogy. It was a performance full of true artistic sense, tine intelligence, and deep feeling. It has not been surpassed by any hnglish artiste who has visited this city. Mr. Turner is a iiost accomplished tenor. He is sure to be appieciated the oftener he is heard. His impersonation of the title ro!c last evening was admirable. The Mephistopheles of Mr. L. larley, besides being a display ofgreat histrionic ability, was remarkable for its extraordinary power, botli of manner and singing. It would be scarcely possible, on any stage, to find three artists more thoroughly conversant with the exigencies of grand opera. In the next rank to these are Miss Carrie Godurcy, Messrs. Devereux and Shannon. The la<iy i s steadily winning a high place in iter profusion. She has been here before, and occupies a prominent place in public favour. If Faust should be again performed, those who are not acquainted with the opera should SCO and hear it. We have never seen the leading parts oi itbetterperformed in English. This evening 41 Maritana" will be produced. It is an JinLlish opera by an English com poser. Mr. Vincent \\ allace, when he produced this most mellifluous music, -was himself au Australian colonist.
