"LUCREZIA BORGIA" AT THE
CITY HALL.
The Royal Italian Opera Company gave their second subscription performance at the Theatre Royal, City Hall, last night, when was produced
with a smart burst down the straight, the dun Bonnett's well known opera Lucrezia Borgin
The attendance was not a large one, in fact, it was about the smallest we have ever seen at these operatic representations. It would be difficult to satisfactorily explain the absence last night. of so many of the patrons of Italian Open, unless the somewhat heavy character of Donizetti's grand work, and its recent performance here may have kept many people away, Novelty, in Italian Opera as in everything else, must be studied, and we therefore trust that the Directors of the Company will, in their own interests, see their way to put- ting on the stage as frequently as possible, po pular operas which have not been recently repre sented in Hongkong.

I saw nothing of my brethren in art for some little time. During this interval Fechter had read the proof-sheets, had (to use his own phrase) "fallen madly in love with the subject," and had Prepared a scenario or outline of a dramatic adaptation of the story, under Dickens' superin-- tendence and approval. This done, Dickens took his departure for the United States, leaving the destinies of the unwritten play safe, as he himself with the scenario, laid the manuscript kindly said, in my hands.

The play written a far harder task than I had anticipated, requiring such new presentation of some of the persons of the story as almost in- volved the recreating of them-Fechter at once assumed the character of"Obenreizer" in private life. When he entered his study or mine it was an entrance on the stage. He ate and drank in character" when he dined with me or dined with him. The play was in his hands all day and at his beside all night. At reheanal he was quite ready to perform every other character in the drama, by way of an example which might brighten and improve the business on-the- stage.
