ROYAL GRAND OPERA

Much infc-ivi-t irs being taken Ity theatregoers in the performance. lo be given in Timaru next. Wednesday evening by Mr George Mus>giove's Royal 11 rand Op:-r;i, Company. The " Melbourne Argil:; in its notice of the opening performance, said : " If one may form a definite opinion from the remark.-dile success of the first prodv.cl inn. Nil' Musgrove has shown sound judgment- in the selection of. his artists, given thentv the ample support of an'efficient chorus and orchestra, and in addition mounted the production with, a lar vis'h hand, all- the move praiseworthy since grand opr-ras-, unlike melodramas and musical comedies, have net the happy knack of enjoying a long run. Few, if any, finer have been &:en in Melbourne, and the cve-nt will be remembered in association with great first- nights, such as when F>ernhardt' and Melba- appeared in •■lie Princess's." "Faust," the opera (selected for representation'on Wednesday evening next is certainly well chosen as it. calls for a limp; cart of principals and also' lends itself to spectacular display, full advantage of which is taken by the management of this large combination. The box .plan open;; at the Dresden at 10 a.m. to-morrow.
