COVENT-GARDEN THEATRE.
On the first of last month, a débutant, Mr. LENNOX, appeared as Artabanes. This gentleman is the same, we believe, who has sung in some few London concerts, during the last two or three seasons, and was a pupil of Sig. De Begnis. He enjoys the advantage of a powerful base voice of considerable compass, and sings in time and tune; but either as singer or actor we cannot venture to say more, judging him from this, his first appearance on the stage, when it is possible that the newness of the situation operated as some check on his powers. Miss SHIRREFF, in Mandane, displayed unequivocal signs of general improvement; and Miss H. CAWSE’s Artaxerxes was, as it always is, without affectation, correct and pleasing.
The ballet of Masaniello has been produced here, with French dancers, and drew some better houses than have been seen lately.
