THE OPERA IN KUROPE—ENGLAND AND ITALY. The loveot the sublime and beautiful being not an accidental, but an essential and characteristic quality of the humaa mind, it is obvious that the germ of a taste for music lies, as [ have said be- fore, in every soul—since muaie largely partakes of the beautiful, and frequently of the sublime— and wants nothing but an opportunity for its de- velopment, cultivation end refinement: that isan opportunity to hear daud well éxecuted music. Concerts and cperatic performances acquire there- fore a great linportance, which uofortunately is lost sight of patily the sensual gratification they are expected to aiford; partly through the ab- sence of a certain degree of purity, which is re- quisite whenever ultimate perfection in uny object isaimed at. Performing artists and managers are very seldom setated by a platonic love for the art, but the more by an ¢picurean appetite for gold and bank notes. ‘The best proof of this asgertion— which I think to be correct, altouxh it may not be very accep artists—is tv lusions to toa numerous ¢ found in the frequene sacrifives they are nak art, to the art alone, and to nothing be @ art. Nobody attaches greet importance to this dis- interested abacgation in the present age of posi tive and matter of fact ideas, but it sounds well in the ears of muzical philiutropists, and sf ca ne fait pas du bien, cr ne peut pas faire du mat. 1 know several pianiaws who coasider themselves regular martyrs to the art, and ful y entitled tothe errenon ef a statue dur wreath, bec wrists with ad st toa laurel “ raining th ir *3 practice of ovtave and tenth’s passuges, and of tearing the phalanges of the fourth finger through sleeptug with a chyro- gymnast in their hands. Such artiste, although they may not Knowingly he byporrites, are never theless hypocrites malgré eux, wud deserve as little the name of an artist—axfortuautely very often misapplied now-a-dayz—as their pianos and violins, In reality they are nothing but mechanical instru- ments to the composer, who alone is the true artist. ‘This want of purity, and, if | am allowed to say, of legitimacy in musical exhibitions, although de- trimental in many respects, and strongly to be condemned in an absolute way, is, never- thelese, relatively productive of some benefit with regard to the greater power of attraction it exerci- ses on the masses, who always have been more open to the illegitimate than the legitimate. The end excuses therefore, the bad means, although it does net justify them. Operas deserve froin this reason more encouragement, since their sphere of action is larger than thatof concerts, which have now lost considerably of the nimbus formerly at- tached to thein, through the sameness and monoto. ny of their complexion, ‘Lhere are, of course, nu- merous exceptions, but notwithstanding, the c'est beaw mais ewnuyeux, will always be the best criti- cism of any concert. {t is moreover inoculated with a spriniling of aristocratical poison, which contrasts rather strengly with the undoubted and indisputable republican nature of music. It is con- sequently no great matter of regret, that concerts godiminuendo with a happy prospect of calando and moriendo, whilst the opera goes crescendo, aud in judging trom the multiplic' y of operatic esta- blishments, has nearly reached its apogée, whose stability could be predicted with a mathematical certainty, if it vould not be under the control of ever-changing time. Nearly every German, Italian, and French town, has an opera company, who per- form during the greater part of the year. In England, London alone hasa regular opera house, and there the season is restricted to five months, the occasional performances at Drury lane,the Princess, the English opera house, and the Surrey, cannot be taken in consideration. Dublin, Edinburgh, Liverpoo!, and other large and populous cities, hardly ever have an opportunity of hearing operas, and this accounts euffiviently for. the entire ab- sence of taste in the English provinces. Itcan hardly be enid of the London opera that it has an influential bearing in the propagation of musical knowledge, being the exclusive property of apriviliged class, since the high prices of ad- mission and several other silly regulations—vide the ful dress restriction—interfere with its ever becoming a popular school. Properly speaking, thisisaot very much to be regretted, since very little good can be said of the maoner with which itis conducted. Instead of taking advantage of its immense pecuniary resources, and devoting « small part of them to the production of meritorious works, it confiaes iteelf to Domzetti and a few operas by Kossini. These, together with two or three ballets, form the yearly bill of fare, which is paid at an exorbitant price. The result of this one sided system, is, that a wrong direction has been given to the fittle taste that exists in Ba- gland, which can be seen from the failure of the attempt to introduce,during three summers,a com- pany forthe production of the master pieces of the German oo}, the operas by Giuck, Mozart, Beethoven, Spohr, &c. ‘This is the more cingular, since the English pride themselves on their love of classic compositions, and proves, what 1 always saw when in England, that they do not understand Handle and Haydn, notwithstanding the crowds at Exeter Hall, who congregate there rather from custom and religious feeling than from a desire to hear the artstical work. Yet it cannot be denied that the English are more acquainted with those two pillars of the German school than many pro fessional musicians in italy, France and even in Germany, and the.lakewarm reception of Oberon, Euranthe,die Zawberflote and Jessonda, is,therefore, the more puzziing at all events, when it is consi- dered that the orchestra and chorusses were mag- nificent, and the company any thing but in different. This could have been expected from Italy, whose taste, although superior, to che tare it is forced to live upon, is too superti- cial, too much accustomed to triviality of melody to digest those mighty creations, those textures of elevated melody and profound harmony which cannot be appreciated afier one or two hearings. ft is, indeed, melancholy to observe the degra- dation of music as a acience, in that unfortunate country, the eradle of all the fine arts. Shadows ot Dante, Tasso, Ariosto, Cellini, Canova, Auge- lo, Rafaele, Vinci, how you must mourn over your tailen county. Italia, a te ent fea la sore. One pearl after the other drops from thy crown, Thy poetsare gone. Thy painters are gore. The throne once occupied by Palestrina and Pergoles: is left vacant, for—the only one ot thy sons, who could lay a claim to it—Rossini, the once perse- cuted and vilified, has deserted thee for gay France. The comparison is rather unpoetical, but the swan of Pesaro makes me think ot rats leaving asioking shi y f f If a Weasd musteal taste in Italy is to be num- bered amongst things that were, the taste for mu- sic, that is, the wish to hear it and to cultivate it as an accomplishment, never was so much diffu. sed asnow. If it is net any more a ntry of musicians and perhaps of music, it is a country of tenors, bassi and soprani, who, if they themselves are not able to execute classic music, exercise through their excellent method of vocalization a notable influence on those, whose int llectual ca- pacity renders them fit to do it. Fortunately, or uafortunately, the Italians do not seem to bewail their failen star, but rush even in greater crowdsto their theatres, and are as lavish as ever with their bravi, fuori and evivas. Every body, trom the marchese down to the lazzarone, sings from early childhood, and all have the some mastere—nature and the opera. The smallest town has a splendid building and a first rate company, at least once a year. Those which are not rich enough to have a reguiar stagione, do not fail to engage some divi or dive during the fiera, and some of these smaller cities vie even in that re- apect with la Scala, il San Carlo or la Pergoia. hia is the easier effected, since very little regard is paid to scenic splendor, and local musicians are sufficiently drilled to take charge of the chorusses and the orchestra, which are of secondary impor- tance in modern Italian operas. One, very seldom two, and only in large cities, as Milan and Naples, three operas, with a mimic ballet between the two acts, are performed every day ae a month and attract as numerous audiences on the last day as on the first. The prices of admission are very moderate, varying from one to three lire (a lira being equal to about sixteen cents) and that with- out any difference in the larger or smaller citi At present there is rather a dearth of os don. nas; the best of them being permanently engaged in Paris, London, Vienna, and St. Petersburgh ; but there are, notwithstanding, some very excel- lent ones left, as Tadolini Frezgollini, besides the German, Sophia, Lowe, Heinefetter, Goldberg, Lutzer, who are filling the vacancies left by Uj her, Sontag, Schutz, Oldosi, Schoberlechner. As for tenor, baryton and bass singers, they are as numerous as blackberries only not quite #0 cheap. From France and Germany in my next letter. General Sessions.
