COPENHAGEN.
THE season just past brought before the public two new operas which were very successful; the first Das Bild und die Büste (the Portrait and the Bust), in three acts, by P. C. Berggreen, the other, Die Braut von Lammermoor, by the Kapellmeister J. Bredal; both composers in their productions successfully clothed in musical expressions the ideas of their poets, regarding melody as the first consideration—in style however they differ widely. Besides these, there was another vocal piece, Der Rabe oder die Bruderprobe (The Raven, or the Test of Fraternal Affection), by J. P. E. Hartmann. The other performances of the season were Boieldieu’s Die Zwey Nächte (Les deux Nuits), J. L. Heiberg’s humorous operetta, Ein Abentheuer im Rosenberger Garten (An Adventure in the Rosenberg Garden), Weyse’s opera, Ludlam’s Höhle (Ludlam’s Cave), Die Stumme, Fra Diavolo, Der Liebestrank, Die Weise Frau, Figaro, Joconde, Die Weinlese (The Vintage), Der Erlenhügel (The Alder Hill), music by Kuhlau; Don Juan, Das Schloss Montenero, Der Schatz (Le Trésor Supposé), Der Schlosser und der Maurer, Preciosa, Der kleine Matros (Le petit Matelôt), and Die verliebten Handwerksleute (The Love-smitten Mechanics.)
