The opera is one of the most beautiful ever written—abounding witli rich melodies, sud excelling in superior instrumentation, indicating MeknPs master-genius in every part. The text is taken from the Bible, and treats of Joseph/s delivery to tlie Egyptians, and his subsequent fortunes. We have heard a portion of the opera at rehear-sals, and would particularly mention tlie airs and songs of Jc^ephi Benjamin and Jacob.We hope Mr. Balatea will be as success* ful in L.U new undei taking. as he lias Ixwu in the Musical direction of the Musical Society.—Free Dtmocrat.
