Daily Dose

From Evelina, by Fanny Burney

THE OPERA

"I wish the opera was every night.  It is, of all entertainments, the sweetest, and most delightful.  Some of the songs seemed to melt my very soul.  It was what they call a serious opera, as the comic first singer was ill."

From Volume One, Letter XII
