Those who witnessed the perform- ances at the Central High School were unanimous in their praise of the composi- tion, both on account of its musical num- ~— and the ingenious manner in which e Plenty of Opera for the Musio-Loviag Commnnity. Some Things That Washington Came Near Getting, but Didn’t—Eames Wants img Here in Opera. Voices, and the little entered into their work with all the en- thusiasm of childhood. The possibilities Next week Washington will have no lack | for spectacular effects were seen in the of music and the tastes of all may be sat- isfied. There will be comic opera and grand opera, and both will be done by excellent soloists and large choruses, supported by efficient orchestras. Between “ Girofie- nd “Trovatore,” “Carmen,” “Rig- Martha,” “The Bohemian Girl” and “Cavalleria Rusticana” one need not be at a loss for musical enjoyment. A movement was made for a big May festival at Convention Hall, which should bring here the greatest and best soloists and either Seidl’s or Damrosch's orchestra, but the expense involved was so great that it finally deterred those who were inter- ested in the movement from carrying it out. So, too, there was a whispered prom- ise of a week of opera, with Calve as Car- men, Melba and the rest of the great com- pany that has been so thoroughly success- ful in proving that Italian opera, when properly interpreted, can be made to pay, but the promise was not fulfilled. The opera which we are now to have, however, is superior to anything that has ever been in this city at this season, and the music-loving community ought to be thankful for that. The Choral Society are rehearsing a pro- gram that is to be given at their coming excursion down the river. It will be com- posed of numbers that will show the so- clety to good advantage, and at the same time will not be too heavy to listen toon an occasion of that kind. The Eames concert which took place lest Tuesday night at Metzerott Hall gave w new singers, both of whom will be gladly welcomed to this city again. Mme. Eames was undoubtedly a surprise to a good many who heard her for the first time. Somehow or other an impression had gained ground here that her voice was a light high so- prano, but with remarkable carrying pow- er. She proved, on the contrary, to possess an organ of more than ordinary volume and power, and she sang with a good deal of dramatic expression. Everyone who heard her would be glad to hear her in opera, where she could have full scope for the dis- play of her talents. The time will come when the best singers in opera will not be content to remain entirely in New York, Chicago and Boston, but will insist upon having a hearing at the national capital. The other singer was Mr. Ben. Davies, who came comparatively unheralded, but who at once established himself as a favorite by his earnest and conscientious work, Mr. Ellis, who managed the company, said that he endeavored to secure Edouard DeReszke, and had he done so, he would have given the third act of Faust in full, the quartet being, of course, Mme. Eames as Margue- rite, Schaichi as Siebel, Mr. Davies as Faust and DeReszke — te ed to do that very badly,” said Mme, Eames after her concert was over, “but DeResake wouldn't postpone his return to Europe long enough to carry out the entire tour that Mr. Ellis had arranged for. I hope to have the pleasure of singing here in opera, for Wash- hingtonlans an Opportunity to hear two | amazon marches, the groupings of the chorus, both in the court scene and in giant's cave, and all these possibilities be made realities only The Apollo Quartet, which was heard to Such excellent advantage at the National Theater last Sunday night, is Sage ead the best male voices that in this city. They have sung together for some time, and have been so careful in their rehearsals that their concerted work is little short of perfect. Their ne monize wom, and their artistic. ch member is ah F which places this quartet in better position, for concert work than many similar or ganizations now known here. The Metzerott Music Hall will edly be filled to overflowing on Friday even- ing next, the occasion being the annual concert by pupils of Mra.
