FRANKFORT.
The repertoire of this theatre has been considerably enriched of late. The principal new productions, besides Der Templer und die Jüdin, which particularly delighted the Jews, have been Die Fremde (La Straniera), of Bellini, Der Vampyr, of Marschner, and Zampa, of Herold. Robert de Diable too has been given; but not by the theatrical direction. Kapellmeister Guhr produced it at his concert, and it was not much admired.
The Cecilian Society, under the able direction of M. Schelble, has recently given the first of four concerts for the season, at which the overture and introduction to Eliza, by Cherubini, and the overture to Idomeneo, were played by a considerably augmented and improved orchestra; and it redounds highly to the credit of the members of the opera, that they should have assisted the efforts of the Society with their vocal contributions.
Madame Filipowicz has performed here three times on the violin with extraordinary success. Her shake in particular is exquisitely brilliant, and her bowing equally powerful and graceful. After displaying her talents in various other German towns, Madame Filipowicz intends to proceed through France to England.
