MUSIC AND THEATRES IN PARIS.

(From our own Correspondent.)

June 12, 1860. Ir is always interesting to recur to the early works of a composer who has succeeded in taking the rank of a classic, and to note how those qualities which chiefly distinguish the after productions with which his renown is associated, may sometimes be altogether absent, or exist only in a very faint germ. To students such opportunities are especially valuable, and teach the golden lesson how even genius cannot dispense with patient perseverance, and might never assert itself but for tenacity under disappointment. The management of the Théâtre Lyrique has, therefore, done a useful and a graceful thing in bringing out Hérold's first operatic work, Les Rosières, an opera comique in three acts, produced at the Salle Feydeau in 1817. On its first production, this work achieved a decided success, and at once informed the world that a composer of the highest promise was born to France. It kept the stage until 1826, when Marie, a much riper and more masterly work, threw it into the shade, whence it has never been rescued until now. Les Rosières, though much inferior to the composer's subsequent productions, exhibits in a considerable measure the fundamental characteristics of Hérold's style. It lacks the rich and brilliant instrumentation, and the startling modulations for which he was afterwards distinguished; but the grace and facility of his melodic inspirations, the elegance, piquancy, and neatness of his style are already clearly discernible. The libretto of this work, although old-fashioned, is still amusing; and the plot has a merit also somewhat out of date-clearness and simplicity. The principal female part, Florette, is played by Mlle. Girard, whose easy, correct, and brilliant execution, keen intelligence and agreeable organ, allied to graceful and spirited acting, place her among the first lyrical artists of the French stage. The other prominent characters are filled by Mlle. Faivre, and MM. Fromant, Ricquier Delauney, and Gabriel. A little one-act opera, entitled Les Valets de Gascoigne, has been produced for the first time at this establishment with sufficient success. The composer is M. Dufresne. Mlle. Faivre, M. Girardot, M. Wartel, and M. Potel, are engaged in it.

M. Henry Wuille, the well-known clarionetist, one of the many distinguished artists whom poor Jullien introduced to fortune and to fame, has made his début in Paris at the concerts Musard, and has won from the public as well as from the critics, the amplest acknowledgment of his uncommon talents.

however, with what freedom the elder Dumas is in the habit of treating the muse of history. He acts towards her certainly as a student, but as a student of the Quartier Latin. He strips her of her classic toga, takes her to a masquerade warehouse, decks her in the most captivating carnival costume, and familiarly clapping his arm round her waist, hurries her through a succession of exciting adventures. The conspiracy to which the title alludes, is that which effected the restoration of Charles; and the "Envers," or underside, is represented by a certain Lady Hamilton, and a Scotch adventurer, one Evan Macdonald, who having come to London to join the commonwealth party, is entangled by his love of Lady Hamilton into the royalist plot, to which he innocently renders essential service. This part, in the hands of Dupuis-formerly of the Gymnase-becomes broadly comic; and if M. Dumas' ambition soared no higher than this, and disdained that attention to literary form which he once condescended to cultivate, he can hardly find fault with the judgment of the Théâtre Français.

An extravagant absurdity called Les trois Fils de Cadet Roussel has just appeared at the Palais Royal, and not without danger attained success. It is incredible how many times this mythical personage of the first French Revolution has been dramatically served up, yet is his vitality apparently not exhausted. A new drama at the Gaîté-Une Pêcheresse, works up afresh a subject worn somewhat threadbare, — a husband's jealousy of his wife's past existence.

The indisposition of Mad. Ferraris has not yet ceased, and her place is filled by Mlle. Villiers. When is this lady to appear at Her Majesty's Theatre? The first performance of Semiramis is announced for the 29th of June, or at the latest the 2nd of July, The singer Wicart has been re-engaged at the Opera, and will make his re-appearance as Arnold in William Tell; he is then to play Raoul in the Huguenots. The engagement of Mlle. Tedesco is signed and sealed; she is to place herself at the disposal of M. Alfonse Royer on the 1st of September, when the rehearsals of Tannhäuser will commence in view of its production at the end of January, 1861.

At the Opéra Comique, the bills still alternate with L'Etoile du Nord, Le Roman d'Elvire and Rita, and Château Trompette with l'Habit de Mylord. A new opera, by M. Paul Dupuch, Gertrude, is in rehearsal, and will take its turn after Le Petit Chaperon Rouge, which is very soon to appear. The following artists will be engaged in this once most popular of Boieldieu's works-Rodolphe, M. Crosti; Roger, M. Warot; the Bailli, Lemaire; the Hermit, Barrielle; Rose d'Amour, Mlle. Marimon; Annette, Belia.

In the theatrical world the advent of summer, if I may be allowed the expression, when the paletot is as yet an indispensable garment, is producing its usual desolating effects. Several houses have already closed their portals for the season, and others are threatening to follow their example. The Odéon made its last bow the other day, with the Testament de César Girandot, and the Bouffes Parisiens are strolling in the provinces. The Italian company, which had settled itself in the Salle Ventadour, hang-gaged Mad. Wekerlin Damoreau for next season. ing to the tragic skirts of Mad. Ristori, has likewise taken flight. Just before the departure of Alexandre Dumas the elder, for his periplous of the Mediterranean, it was rumoured that he had written a piece for the Théâtre Français, but that the reading of it had been suddenly interrupted through some dispute about the usual premium. It was said that the question was brought up on purpose to induce Dumas père, reckoning on his known irritability of temper, to withdraw the piece of his own accord; whether this was the intention or not, the haughty dramaturgist without deigning to read his work to the end, and thus throw his pearls to swine, ill-mannered enough to cavil over their price, packed up his manuscript, and walked off to the manager of the Vaudeville, to whom he transferred the privilege of producing the new work, with the magnificent stipulation that no premium should be demanded for it, thus setting a glorious example to the grovelling council of the Théâtre Français, and showing that he at least could set the interests of art above paltry considerations of finance. This piece has just been produced under the title of l'Envers d'une Conspiration, and the public may now judge whether or no it was right to haggle over the price of such a work.

Borghi-Mamo has contracted to appear at the Scala, in Milan, during the carnival season next year. Roger has just returned from his provincial tour. He appeared last at Bordeaux, where he brought the season to a brilliant close. He is to proceed to Baden in August, where he is engaged, together with Mad. Miolan-Carvalho, to appear in a new opera, by Gounod.

M. Mirès, one of the millionaires who have sprung up under the Imperial regime, and who is the proprietor of two daily papers, Le Pays and Le Constitutionnel, has just married his daughter to the Prince de Polignac. There is something quite bewildering in this alliance, from the welding of principles and associations so widely dissevered and apparently so incompatible. The ceremony took place in the church of the Madeleine, and was attended by a crowd of distinguished people, whether by rank, intrinsic eminence or fortune. Finance, politics, officialism, art, literature, and even pride of birth were there amply and showily represented. The nuptial benediction was pronounced by Monseigneur the Bishop of Marseilles, and the sacred music executed on the occasion was composed by Prince Edmund of Polignac, the
