This fine building,
finished by Mr E. Solomon at an expense of
nearly £10,000, was opened on Monday last, by
an effective and well-organised company under the
experienced management of Mr Lazar—well
known and much respected as the conductor of
the theatrical amusements of Sydney. the
theatre is neatly fitted up, and admirably arranged
for seeing and hearing. The decoartions are
designed and executed by Mr Opie, and reflect
much credit on his skill as an artist. We did
not reach the theatre until nearly the close of the
tragedy (Othello), and can therefore venture to
express no opinion on the particular merits of the
actors—although we presume it would be in
accordance with that of the audience, which
was most favorable. Miss Lazar's dance was
exceedingly graceful, and met a deserved and
[?] encore. This young lady would be
an acquisition to any theatre, as, in adiditon to her
talent in the ballet, her acting in the after piece,
Mary Anne, a farce of Buckstone's, was excellent.
She was well-supported by Mr Buckingham, and
by the other actors. The house was crowded in
every part.
