Tho drama waa originally written in French proso by tho celobrated Lgyptiologist, M. Mariotto, It wag turned into Fronch vorse by anothor hand, and from thst verson Sig. Ghislanzoni con- structed tho Itnlian libretto. Tho notion tnkes pinco *at IMomphis nand Thobes durh:fi the time of the Pharaohs"—a poriod whicl mn‘f bo supposed to embrace an indefinite and romoto strotch of centuries, and there- fore offers tho dramatist almost unlimited froedom, Aida, the daughter of Amonasro, King of Ethiopin, ina slavein the palaco of Tharaoh, nt Mowphis. Bho there wins the lovo of Radames, s young Egyptian Genoral, who, at tho opening of tho opora is choson Lo load the King’s army ngninst an {nvading forco of Bthi- opiaus, o roturna in triumph, bringing Amo- nasro o prigonor, and tho first uso ho makes of Lis favor at court is to hnF the lives of tho cap- tives. "fho King offers him in rewmd for his sorvices the hand of his daughter Amneris, who hos long loved him, but Radames, faith- ful to Aida, doclines tho proffered honor. ~ Amonasro now porsuades- dida to obtaln from Radames tho scorot of a pass which the Egyptian troops bave left unguarded, and tho lovers are about to fly togother by that road whon the vengoful Amneris and the high priost Ramyls, who havo overhoard them, do- nouncoe Radames a8 & traitor. o is condomned to bo buried alive, and, nftor refusing to savo his life by renouncing Aida and accepting tho hand of the Priucees, who loves and hates him by turns, ho is immured in_tho vaults under tho groat «emplo of the god Phthah, In this dread- ful place he finds the faithful Aida awaiting him. 8he bas concealed horself there in order to sharo his fate, nnd thoy die in esch othor's arms. It will readily bo conceived that the story of which we have™ sketched nu outline abounds in tolling situations, strong dramatio contrasts, and opportunitios for thoairical dioplay, snd they have oll been improved to tho utmost. Mr. Strekosch’ procured most of his proporties, +droseos;-and econery in Italy, copying from the originnl ontfit propared with some caro after authentio antiques, Wo are assured that thoy faithfully reprosont the Egypt of 3,000 or 4,000 years ago, and wo dare @ay they aro much nearor to historical corroctness " than such thirgs generally are on the stage. Howevor that may be, the magnificenco with which this opors has been produced struck overybody with amazement, For ouco the most oxtravagant promises of a prospectus Liave been roalizod. Tosay that nothing appronching tho splondors of Inst night's ropresentation has dvor beon witnessod at tho Academy of Music would be faint and inndequate praise. We do not now remember anything so tine on any New York stage, oxcugw orhaps one or two of Mr. Edwin Booth’s Shaksposrean pageants, Certainly thero is not now a epectacle #o grand to bo on- joyed in this city, Evorything about it, from tho grond doublo ecous of tho ' Tem- plo and tho subterranean vault down to the tunia of the supor who cleara the stago, is admirable of its kind. Thoro are soven econes, all of them eutirely new, all of thom sproading & generous expanse of architectural glorien or landseape heauty, all of them marvelous achiovements of ‘pictorial taste andekill, Tho multitude of auxilicries, singers, dancers, ‘bandsmen, soldiers, slaves, is almost bewilder- ing, and the richness of their garmonts is really superb. Wo mnever saw an opera beforo in which nestnoss aud lberslity muked evory do- tail down to the very losst. The Uoistorous applause which broke out froquentty during the avoning, aud the cordial recognition of ~Sig. Muzio and Wr, Strakosch when, aftey much diffeulty, they were induced to come Dbofore the _curtain with the principal singera was, no doubt, stimulated uite as much by tho unexpscted excellence of theropresentation of theopera asby thecharactor of tho music. Tho success of “ Aida" ia of tho most emphatic and demonstrative kind, How far 1t is a succoss for Sig, Vordi it is too soon yet to judgo. Tho work is Iacking.in somo of thoso distinguishing quxxliuml which made the popt- Iarity of the *‘Urovatore” and *lraviata.” It i destitute of clap-trap effects. It containsvery fow melodies which ean bo whistlod in the scrosts ond ground upon barrel-organs. Yot it seoma to ua a composition of vory high merit, and con- nologours will rogard 1t as tho most interesting if not abaolutoly the best that Verdi cver wroto.

But besldea thie thore is o por- coptible modification of his theories of art.
