VIENNA.
THE Josephstadt Theatre, under its very able direction, ever anxious to delight the public with novelties, has produced Bellini’s Die Capulets und die Montagues, which, however, was but indifferently received, notwithstanding the laudable exertions of the singers. Rossini’s Semiramis, also, has lately afforded evidence of the industry and efficiency of the company of this theatre. M. Pock, as Assur, excited enthusiasm in his audience, and Demlle. Kratky as Arsaz, and Mad. Zimmer as Semiramis, were overwhelmed with applause; in fact, all the singers received ample testimony of the delight which they afforded, and the whole representation could not but have given satisfaction to the most severe critic.
On the 4th January, a new operetta by Caché, Das Küchenregiment (the Kitchen Government), was produced at the Hofoperntheater. M. Caché himself played the principal character (Vatel), and was twice called forward.
