Appeal on abode and voting rights in 1840s case

Maritana at Drury Lane Theatre Review
The new opera Maritana based on Don Cesar de Bazan debuts at Drury Lane with V. Wallace conducting. Miss Romer shines in aria and Lazarillo, while Harrison and Borrani receive mixed notices. The piece gains vigor from its Spanish color, but some roles and plot pacing need pruning and better singer-actor fit.
