Monsieur Juignet will give two performances at the Academy of Music, on Tuesday and Saturday evenings of next week, in order to introduce to the public the excellent French artists who are to open the new French theatre in Fourteenth street early next year. ‘Ba- (aille des Dames” and “Lea Premieres Armes de Richelieu’? will be presented, The Academy is much too large for the French company, but still we hope that ouriosity will attract a large audience, and that tho new artists may thus be seen, even if they cannot be heard, by the public at these Academy seiress, When the new theatre is open M. Julgnet's troupe w:!! appear to much botter advantage, and he will then bo able to present, not only dramas and vaudevilles, but alao comic operas, such as “Fawt,”’ “La Dame Blanche, Fra Diavolo,” “Le Paidon de Ploermei," and others’ of that school, in Fronch, and interproted by admirable singers and actors. The Opera in St. Loa Sr. Louw, Dec. 20, 1865. There was avery full and fashionable house at the opora this evening to hear Norma, with Noo! Gu'di, for the first time, as the Druidess, and Musiani aad Millori a8 Poliio and Oreveso, Cash Pollini sang Adelgisa for the first time in St, Louis. In brief, we might say that tho opera was gtven in @ most oxceliont manner, All the artista wero in fino voice, Siusiani and Milleri especially. Tho Northa of Noel Guidi was a splendid pl ce of emotional acting. In the finale of the secoad act alo rose to « point of grandeur that was electrifying. Musianl and Casi Pollini sustained her fully, and they wore all honored with a rapturous call before the eurtaim. In the great scene of the third act and tho duct, Mra 0! Norma, tho prima donna shared tho Lonors oqually, and had to respond to the tumultious encore, Noel Guldi did not lose as abe procecded Lo favors which she obtained in the frst act. The denunc.ation of Pollio in the final scene could not easily be surpansed. Tt was, lo say the least, grand. Tha applasso was immense, and Norma has proved one of tho greatest successes of the soason after Sago, and ranks noxt in popular favor, The Jatter, opera will be repoated to morrow night, at tho earnest request of the public. ‘The season will close on Saturday with two perform- ances—Fuvet at a matinee, and Mra Dievaio ia the evoning. On Sunday tho company teave for Loulwwille, whers they will commence ® songon of w Week on Cheist- send might. Destructive Fire at Salt Lake.
