Now what should he do? He was quite unlearned in the social habits of an opera-house. He was not aware that he had the privilege of paying the lady a visit in her box, and, had he been so, he was really so shy in little things that he never could have summoned resolution to open the door of his own box and request an attendant to show him that of Mrs. Campian.
On Saturday we had a serenta at the Opera-house, called Peace in Europe, but it was a wretched performance. On Monday there was a subscription masquerade, much fuller than that of last year, but not so agreeable or so various in dresses. The King was well disguised in an old-fashioned English habit, and much pleased with somebody who desired him to hold their cup as they were drinking tea.
Sophie Arnould appeared with no less success in Gluck's operas of "Orphée" and "Alceste" than in the first, and rose again to the topmost wave of court favor. When "Orphée" was at rehearsal at the opera-house, it became the fashion of the great court dignitaries and the young chevaliers of the period to attend.
But before they left the opera-house, the Duchess, in spite of herself, gave Victurnien an adorable glance, her eyes were shining with the desire to go back once more to bid farewell to the nest which she loved so much. And boy that he was, he lost a night.
There's not so much going on in the way of public amusements, and so people make more of one another. There are not so many concerts, theatres, operas " "Oh, they've got a splendid opera-house in Moffitt. It's just grand," said Miss Mela. "Have you been to the opera here, this winter?" Mrs. March asked of the elder girl.
"I am not cross," I answered. "Only absolutely disgusted." By that time, thank goodness, we had got into the stream of carriages close to the opera-house. Mr. Carruthers, however, seemed hardly to notice this. "Darling," he said, "I will try not to annoy you; but you are so fearfully provoking. I tell you truly, no man would find it easy to keep cool with you."
Everyone in Madrid has a box or stall at the Teatro Real, or opera-house, and many ladies make a practice of "receiving" in their palcos; and in the entrance-hall, after the performance is over, an hour may be spent, while ostensibly waiting for carriages, in conversation, gossip, mild flirtation, and generally making one's self agreeable among the groups all engaged in the same amusement.
"Ah, I see, you intend to be a rock and take counsel from no one," said the queen, impatiently. "Yes, your majesty, from you always; and with your gracious permission I will now consult you." "Speak, my son, speak," said the queen, in breathless expectation. "I wish your advice upon theatrical matters. Where must the new opera-house be built?" The queen's face darkened.
Giles, and I furnished the necessary moneys. In spite of this charitable action, the wretched manuscript came out, but, as I have said, without doing me any harm. The superintendent made the Corticelli live in the same house with Redegonde, and Madame Pacienza was left in peace. After supper, with the exception of the Chevalier Raiberti, we all masked, and went to the ball at the opera-house.
Indeed, at the Italian opera-house he found more that was to his taste than at the French opera-houses. Bellini's music had a particular charm for Chopin, and he was also an admirer of Rossini. The above notes exemplify and show the truth of Liszt's remark: In the great models and the master-works of art Chopin sought only what corresponded with his nature.
