Amusements, ABBOTT'S OPERA HOUSE Lessees and Directors: MESSRS WILLTATVISON. GARNER, AN] MUSGROVE. ROYAL COJYIiO OP&RA COMPANY. The Directors have the honour to annour.e that arrangements have been completed (or short Season of COMIC OPERA by thia.famou organisation, beginning on SATURDAY, I6TH FEBRUARY, 188», And extending over a period of TWENTY-FOUtl NIGHTS, At Abbott's Opera House. THE HOYAL COMICJ UPERA COMPANY Is undoubtedly the Largest, most Complete and Successful Combination ever formed in thi Southern Hemispheric, for the purpose o presenting Popular Opera in the most pleasini form. The tour of this Company during thi past two years has been ono Continuou Triumph, alike gratifying to the Public am remunerative to the Managers. THE ROYAL* COMIC OPERA COMPANY, Is under the Management of MESSRS J. C WILLIAMSON, ARTHUR GARNER, anc GEORGE MUSGROVE, who have been con nected as Managers individually and eollec tively with all the greatest and most Successfu Lyric and Dramatic productions during th< past four years In tho Australian Colonies, anc to ensure tho complete and proper representa tion of tho Works nmde popular by this Com pany, the New Zealand 'lour will be under tin personal supervision of MR GEORGE MUSGROVE. The Season will bo inaugurated with the firs production in this city of Audran's world-famci Comic Opera, LA WASCOTTE (Tho Luck Bringer), The English adaptation by Messrs Farnio anc Recce. LA MASCOTTE is undoubtedly tho mostBUC cebsful and pleasing Comic Onei-a of the day Its popularity is universal, ana its success hai been so great that the Oueru. has been translated into English, German, Kussian, Italian, Dutch Belgian, and Spanish, and the cordiality of iti reception in tho leading Continental Cities hat only been exceeded by the brilliant triumpl which La Muscotte has achieved in all tho lead ing Cilios of lingland and America. When La Aluauottc was produced In Außtralle by Messrs WILLIAMSON, GARNER, unc MUSGROVE, they endeavoured, by unspnrlns outlay of time, trouble, and money, to excol all their previous efforts, the result proving an OVERWHELMING SUCCESS, tlie Operu being received with acclamation throughout the Colonies. Tho second novelty will be Auilran's spark ling Opera, in three acts, OLIVETTE. This charming work first brought tho com poser's name prominently before the English speaking public|and won for him a most enviable position—tho popularity of Olivette throughout England and America eren eclipsing its Pari sian reputation.
