Grisi Shines In Puritani At Her Majesty's Theatre

The Brautan Opera Grisi returned to the stage Saturday to a triumphant reception, performing Bellini's Puritani with grace and energy. Royalty including Queen Victoria and Prince Albert attended, with lively audience demonstrations and encores amid vocal contention and manager Laporte's tense exchanges. The evening featured lavish boxes, fashion, and a dramatic postlude as Tamburini supporters clashed with anti Tamburini factions, culminating in a late stage display as the curtain fell.
