The principal attraction at the Lyceum has been Madame Bosio

in Il Comte Ory and in Rigoletlo. The first, though a stupid opera, con- tains some of Roeeini's very finest music ; and it was delightfully, sung, both by Bosio and Gardoni. Gilds, too, in lligoletto, is one of l3osio's best parts ; and this opera has the advantage of Ronconi's powerful act- ing in the very tragic character of the Jester.
