"OLIVETTE."

Audran'a bright and celebrated comgdy .« Olivette," to be played tonight, is about the most laughable of ;a'U.the operas staged by the company. It abounds with rollicking humor and gives each member of the company plenty of opportunity for showing his or her talents. The scene opens in theiquaint old fown of Perpignon, the second set is a beautiful interior, and the final act is on board the old ship Cormorant. It is almost impossible to give the plot in our limited space, it is so complicated to write down being made up of a succession of delightful absurdities, but on the stage it is easily followed. The opera abounds in the beat of melody, such as the "Torpedo and the xWhale," the " Midshipman's Song," »B jb ud Serenely,", the " Sobbing Bong," and plenty more which have made the opera a prime favorite with all parts of the house whenever it is presented;
