“Don Sebastian was presented at the Academy last night to the most densely crowded houses of the season. It was announced as the last night of its performance; but, from the fact that quite a large number of people were disappointed in obtaining room, and had consequently to leave, even before the opera commenced, we presume that the dictum of the management will have to be revoked, and that this now very popular opera will have to be repeated, and probably more than once, in order to satisfy the increasing appreciation with which the public evidently regard it.”
