VENICE.
The opera Eufemio di Messina, by Maestro Persiani, has been performed here at the Fenico, but not with the success it obtained at the fair of Padua. All the efforts of the singers, Dell Serre soprano, La Carobbi contralto, Curioni tenor, and Crespi bass, could not save it. The music, that of the second act especially, was throughout considered monotonous and tiresome.
Recci’s Chiara di Rosenberg is at this time playing in six towns in Italy, and is everywhere received with enthusiasm.(!)
