Description On Saturday last we paid a visit to the newly arrived Chinese Opera Company. The theatre itself is outwardly a tent exactly like a travelling circus. There were 700 Chinese present. The performance commenced with a kind of acrobatic ballet, mime, gestures and tumbling. During the opera, regular airs, and in them several thirds, fifths and octavos showed the Chinese had melody and harmony.
