THE NEW THEATRE ROYAL.

INAUGURATION BY THE SIMONSEN TROUPE.

The opening of the New Theatre Royal last night hj the Simonsen Opera Company, marks sn epoch in the history of the drama in Auckland. Progress in art is the most con _:._:_„ P ,- Dn 0 { p roS perity in a new country, for "art is"the science Cf *^c be™tiful, and beauty can only be studied after the necessa^ has been provided tvT. C"r CBcriDtions of the new theatre have been so full that it is not > requisite we should gp over the ground again. Suffice it to say that the verdict of a crowded audience last night amply endorsed the admiration expressed ia these columns and when at 8 o'clock the full illumination from the_ grand chandelier was poured over the interior, a murmur of approbation ran through the assemblage. Indeed we question whether a finer coup d'ceil has ever been ex hibited in a place of entertainment in the colony. The f ffect of the mingled colouring of the ceiling,^proscenium, dome, and lustres was exceedingly pretty, and in the moat perfect taste, while the congregation of beautifully dressed ladies, and dark-coated gentlemen in the dress circle formed an admirable combination of hues, being eet off effectually by the crimson covering of the seats, and enlivened by smiling faces and glancing eyea. That Messrs Barcett and Levy, the spirited pro prietors, should have incurred the enormous outlay which the building and fittings re present, shows that they at least have unbounded trust in the future of Auckland ; and as confidence begets confidence, their enterprise has a special claim to recognition as actually imparting a healthier tone to public credit. We cannot here avoid express ing a hope that the citizens of Auckland will join in making it their business to see that the outlay is not unproductive. But to the events of last night. The house was quite full ten minutes before eight. During the interval before the rise of the curtain the orchestra dropped in one by one and took their places, and the time was employed by the crowd in the lower parts of the house in good-humoured chaff, and by those above in discussing the points of the building and the ornamentation. Then the "baize" rolled up and disclosed the gorgeous drop scene which was viewed with enthusiasm and much clapping com bined with shouts of f* Thornton, Thornton." The artist after a time made his appearance, and bespoke the clemency of the audience for any little defects which might attend the performance, as the scenery was barely finished. On the rise of the curtain shortly after, the Simonsen Company was discovered grouped upon the stage, the solo singers in the centre, and the chorus lining the sides. A good criterion was afforded at this moment of the capacity of the stage. Although occupied by nearly sixty performers it was merely sprinkled and not at all crowded. The grand strains of the National Anthem now burst forth from the orchestra. Madame Simonsen, Miss L3tabert, and Signor Carmini Morley sang the solos, and the choruses were taken up strongly and well. In the solos it was noticeable that there was a slight hesitation or indecision visible with all the singers. This was no doubt caused by their uncertainty as to tho pitch of voice required by the building. This over, Madame Simonsen appeared, and delivered the Prize Inaugural Addresa, composed by Mr Jno. Blackman :—

Friends, hail and v o c:>me ! Triumph and delight At your fir presence fill our hearts to night—- Within this noble building, noDly graced Witb beauty, form, intelligence and taste ; To cheer the city's still increasing throng "With muslo, scsne, and character an* song j To lighten labour's caie at clo3e of day With social pleasures "ne*th the Mines' sffay ; To show by strokes of wonder workiug art The actor's is no unimportant part ; That ho, by imitations on the stasre. May ptovo a light 3,nd cen.or of the age. And pive, by semblances of love and strife, A higher tone to language and to life. In days long past, when Greece was in her prime, Tbo Drama taught the manners of the time; And Michyln*, with laudable desire, B: ought forth n«w music from the Attic lyre ; And, later. Sophocles, by kindred means, Reflected life in all its chequered scenes ; "While actors chwmed in dialogue and verß9 And sotigs beroio would in turn reh»arsa, And other minstrels t.reathed thPir thoughts sublime In all the splendid rhapsodies of rhyme, And tinged the bills of old Tradition's night Wi.h roeite colours of progressive light, Th* 'Drani?., for a sevson found a home "Within the confine'! of Imperiil Rome : And bylthu valley where the Tiber flowr; In fgared vestments, Tragedy arose, And with her sisler, Oorae.iy, becamo The sure foundation of the actor's fame. Then Roman artists woko as from a dream To paint the beauties of euch cherished thomo The Drama cha-ged from high to grovelliug thought, And pondered where it once had wisely taught, Until its downward coarse was checked by Hw, The ueedea check, as thoughtful men foresaw ; With satire, grossne^s, forming Virtue's foe, The Drama ceasad with higher life to glow. Long, loDg it slumbered, or but faintly gleamed, In lands remote, where flowers of fancy beamed. Till doomed to rise in Albion's favoured isle, 'Bleat in the light of Freedom's geni-.l smile ; Whore bright-ey'd Knowledge spreads her snowy wings And Beiuty blossomed from its myriad springs, And Poetry, flower-wreathed, with fragrant breath, Breathed on the throne of Quean JSlizibeth. And o'er the nettled grave of hate and strife It whiiperod sweetly of a purer life, Swo^t Shakespeare, line the silver star of morn, Ojm? forth, the stag" to chasten and adorn, And, by the power of Genius aid of Art. To paiut the passions and unveil tho heart- Since then, high names th'hisrrionic mure hath stor'd; Beaumont and Fletcher, Massinger and t ord; Such tragic stara as G*rrick, Kemble, Kean, Enriched tho Stage and colored every scene; Interpreters were they of Nature's bard, And by their talents won a world's regard ; But these have passed beneath Time's noiseless tread, And sleep in silence with the mighty d«ad ; All, all have passed, except the thought and strain Which stirred their souls, and which to us remain. In this fair AucfeUnd by the sounding sea, The future home of thousands yat to be, Where Art and Commerce gather side oy side, And Law aDd progress o'er their paths preside ; Where mart's arise 'neath Beauty's pleasant sway, And happy homes as meaner homes ; Where flocks t;raze on eich sunny hill and slope. And gardens breatbe of industry and hope ; E'en in this Boyal Theatre to-night Tho promise greets us with its joyous light. This Theatre, which bears the stamp of mind, And workn.anHhip of varied skill combined, Which Indicate tha* in this Southern sphsre The Drama, full of life, shall ripen here, Ami liko tbo flowers that deck the skirts of Spring, With imaged Joy ou it 3 poetic win?, In all it purer, happier forms shall rias, Led forth by Taleut, Art, and Enterprise. E'en now the picture opens on. the viow, And what were droatns are taking shape and hue.

And here, as saddest memorii-a pass away. Where once the Maori hummed his native lay, Thi3 great assemblage, radiaut with delight, Inspires freßh hopes of still increasing light ; Whoa Truth and Honour shill advance the age,

And highest Talent dignify the Stage.

A curious though not an unpleasant effect was given to the poetry by the fair reader's foreign accent. There was the true poetic ring about the verse, and the audience cheered vigorously at the finish, loud cries being raised for the author. Mr Blackman modosfcly bowed his acknowledgments from the dress circle. The appearance of Mr and Mrs J. L. Hall in the front row of the dress cirole on tho north side was greeted with a general cheer, which did not subside till tho3e popular artistes had risen and bowed their acknowledgment of what must have been a moat gratifying token of publio favor. The preliminaries having now been gone through no time was lost in getting to the serious business of the evening, Donizetti s grand opera of "Lucia di Lammermoor.^ The cast waa as follows :—" Lucia, Madame Simonsen ; "Edgardo." Signor Morley, "Enrico" Mr Riohardson, "Rai mondo" Mr Barrington, "Artura" Mr Bteinbach, "Normanno"Mr Ewart, " Ahsa Miss Minna Fisher. For the benefit of those who do not know the plot of the opera we may Bay that it Is founded on Sir Walter Scott'a novel the " Bride of Lammermoor. Replacing the Italian by the English names, Lucy the sister of Henry Ashton, the Lord of Lammermoor, has been led by accident to fall in love with and be loved byE.lgar of Ravens wood, the deadly enemy of her brother. <^he latter is determined Bhe shall not marry him, being guided, in addition to his hate, by the knowledge that unless he can bring about a marriage with his Bister and the powerful

Arthur his own life will be forfeit for a conspiracy against the government. He is thus led to devise the most effective means to break off the bated union. To do this he intercepts Edgar's letters to his sister, and forges one signed by Edgar, in which the lover of his sistbr convicts himself of faithlessness. He shows this to Lucy, who is crushed by the tidings, and induced by the tale of her brother's danger, snperadded to her lover's perfidy, to sign a contract of roarriago with I n^">lnitnins at'tho time that it would *rtn llr . c . • t., «,„ mHBt <rf .." _*? OTOn death, warrant. * M the mavriage festivities, Edgar dr^vgd froffl a visit to Scotland, and suddenly comes i* upon the startled wedding party. He is shown the contract signed by Lucy, and re proachps hsr bitterly. "Raymond, the tntor, with difficulty nrevcnts a conflict between the rivals, and Edgar, after forcing; the broken-hearted Lucy to eive him back a pledge of love which she had received from him, throws her from him and rushes out. Edpar and Henry afterwards mcc*, and ex change Bmuhial recriminat:ons in the Tower of the Wolf's Crag, and consent to meet in the morning in the graveyard, and fight a duel. Meanwhile, a fearful tragedy is the result of Lucy's marriage with ".Arthur, for after the retirement of the bridal pair to their chamber piercing shrieks are heard, and Arthur is discovered wallowing in his blood, run through the heart by Lucy, now a hope less maniac. The ravings of the unfor tunate girl form the fe&ture of the third act, and have been illuminated with thfl composer's most splendid • music. Tho concluding scene is brought about; in tho churchyard where Edgar,waiting for his enemy, hears first of the constancy and then of tho death of his beloved. Like the poetic swan he gives vent to his mortal sorrow in most exquisite music, and plunges his dagger into his heart. .As '• Lucia," Madame Simonsen created a most favourable first impression. Her tones are of the richest description, while for compass and flexibility she vies with the noted songstress who has so recently left our city. That; fihe is a true artiste was proved last night by the exquisite feeling she infused into th'e'pnthetic passages, as well as by the intense fervour with which she painted her passion. In the trying mar riage scene the overwhelming conflict of mingled emotions was pictured to the life in tone and gesture. A rapt attention was ob servable in all parts of the building, and the compassion depicted on many a faoe showed that the true triumph of the artiste's skill had been attained in the imitation being received as the real. In the mad scene an opportuuity was given to many of comparing the performance of the nrima donna with that of lima De Murska. The comparison could nob in any way be unfavourable to Madame Simonsen, while for freshness and power no one can deny her the superiority. This will ba understood as very high praise, and it is so intended. The lady had to appear before the curtain no less than three times, and each iime received a shower of bouquets and most enthusiastic cheering. Signor Morley may shortly be pronounoed the most accomplished operatic tenor ever heard in Auckland. He would bo an acquisition to any opera company. His voice is purer than that of Rosnati, if not quite so robust. He has a magnificent compass, and brought out the high notea of the impassioned passages in the concluding scene with splendid vigour and fulness. As ah aofcor he ia no less exoellent than as a singer, and while he makes his points with telling effect, he carefully refrains from all rant. His bearing on the stage was stately and dignified, and was quite in accord with the character of the proud scion of the'Kavens w/oods. In the duetts between Lucy and Edgar the two rich voices mingled in most delight ful hara?ony. The Malediction scena and the death sorg at the conclusion were given in a s^fcyle which was irresistibly effnotive in " bringing down" the housa. Mr Richard son's fine baritone voice was well employed in the rich muaio clothing the part of Henry Ashton. The performance was in nearly every respect a meritorious one, if we except a,tendency to sharpneßS throughout. In his acting he was careful, and kis intonation gborl. Mr Barrington'a Raymond was a performanco of great ability, and what was wanting in power of tone was amply made up for by good taste in his singing and. by splendid acting. Hia " C&83I ah Ce*si," in the 3rd act, called forth loud applause. Wheu we have said that Mr Steinbach (alto) rriade r, trentiemanly, though rather stiff, Arthur, Mr Stewart an excellent Norman, and Miss Fisher a passable Alice, w« Khali have concluded our notice of the individual efforts. Wa must net forget to say that the favourite concerted pieoe " Chi mi frena " was magnificently rendered by the three leading performers and the chorus, and called forth tumultuous applause. The ohorusea were very successful throughout, and it would bo difficult to say which was the best. That lively one which is inter rupted by Raymond with his fearful news pleased us as mnch as any. "v\ c see many old faces among the members, whom we are happy to see back in Auckland. Of the orchestra nothing bub what is commendatory can be said. Mr Simonson has them under perfect control, a state of things which could only exist; where both the director and per formers are of the first excellence. Once or twice Madame Pimonsen took up a passage rather more quickly than the prelude was played, and the ease and promptness with which the new time was taken up was notice able. The flute solo in the first act waß successful in eliciting loud clapping, which it fully deserved. The scenery calls for warm praise, and the gentlemen under whose hands and direction it has been' designed and pointed deserve commendation. Altogether it has rarely been our lot to witness a first performance in which go little allowance had to be made for defects. Everyone concerned have reason to con gratulate themselves on a most complete success. The Hibernian Band, nnder Bandmaster Dillon, performed several selections outside the theatre in honor of the proprietors and opening of the theatre. In conclusion of the lengthy notice, a word is due to Mr Raphael, tho indefatigable agent of the company. That gentleman has left no stone unturned in canvassing the patronage of the public and in securing for the troupe every facility on their arrival. Owing to the exertions of Mr Keith, business manager, the members, although only arriving on the Sunday, were enabled to fall afc once into harness as it were, and make the excellent impression they did last nigbt. Fiotow's favourite opera of " Martha " will be given this evening.

SHOEMAKERS IN QUARANTINE

A party of shoemakers—verilJ^o eo-.-.g of Crispin—started yesterday from the whurf on a boating excursion, and being driven so far down the harbour aa to bo unable to return, they landed on Motu Ibi. To their chagrin, Mr Barnsley, the officer in charge of the Quarantine Station, at once informed them they were now in quarantine, and there for the present they must now remain. The excursions expressed their disappoint ment at the unexpected termination of their piooic, but all their pleadings were ineffectual in obtaining their release. Their boat was sent up to town to-day. The names of the victims .of this little mistake are Messrs Bellingham, Lynch, Barley, Chapin (of Onehunga) and Thompson.

Arrival of the Ryno.

Wreck of the toque Onward at the Islands.
