Pollard's Opera Company.
Playgoers will be pleased to hear that this ever-welcome combination will commence a season of seven nights at the Academy of Music on Saturday next, aud will also be sorry to hear that this will be the last visit here of this popular Company for at least two years. The operas chosen for representation here are published elsewhere, and it will be seen that there are three entirely new t« us and three old favorites, of which we will never tire. The following is the selected list:— Saturday, "Falka"; Monday, "Nell Gwynne"; Tuesday, "Rip Van Winkle" ; Wednesday," "Paid Jones"; Thursday, " The Black Cloaks," and Friday, " Boccaccio." The programme , for the last night will be a novel one, aud will be announced in a future issue. The above list of operas is an excellent one, and should please the most fastidious. Mi* Pollard will, as usual, bring wardrobe, scenery, and effects complete for each production, and will for the first time bring to the Thames his full company of fifty-six people. The prices are fixed at 4s, 2s (id, and Is, aud the box plan for the season will be opened on Monday morning at Burra's. Judging by the Auckland critics the members of the company have improved to such an extent that they are now classed as equal to any musical organisation in the colonies.
