AcapemMy of MuUsIO—ENGLISH OreRa.-- The Parepa-Rosa English Opera Troupe had @ crowded house on Monday night. There were two really great artists in the cast of the above-mentioned operd—Mme. Rosa and Miss Kose Hersee in the 7rOlos of Agnes and Anna, Messrs. Castie and Camp- bell did not please us as Max and Caspar. The velce of the former is too hard, and in the upper register too metalic and unsympathic for Weber's magnin- cent music, af the latter, although no exception can be taken to his fine, resonant barytone voice, acted abd sung the part of Caspar very much inferior to Rimevertz, of the Arion, woo sang it before atthe same house. “Der Frewchutz’? seems very quver in an Engiish shape, especialiy as the dia- logue, as far as these two gentlemen are concerned, Was both extremely inaudible and tneffective. Mme. | Rosw’s superb voice was the feature of the opera, and the beatiful prayer was sung in a style such a8 we have rarely heard before im America or Europe. No better interpreter of the coguettisn role of Anna has ever been heard in this city tian the fascinauing Roso Hersee, But Oastie and Campbeli oughs not attempt to sing or act in this opera, for both were unsatisfactory in every sense of the word. ‘The choruses were well sung, consideriog the Arions iurniashed the male part, and we would adviso Mr. Cart iosa, tue conductor of the orchestra to moderate the pace of his tempt, in order that the nuances of Weber's music may pe brought out with that delivery and expression that they demand, Taik of “The Marriage of Figaro!’ ‘There 18 more treshness, perennial youth about We- ber’s operas than anything ever written by Mozart in the Operatic line. We say this confidently, and we call upoh any musician to bear us out “rhe Marriage of Figaro” 1s like a series of sonatas, very Pretty, certainly; but nevertheless unsauisfactory on the dramatic stage, but “Der Freschuta’! never tires. The magnificent orchestration alone, constantiy Varied, 1s enough to make it a permanent favorite. A siim house attended the representation of “Fra Diavolo” last night, many persons being disap- eres at the unavoidable postponement of “The tack Domino.”’ Miss Rose Hersee made a charming Zeriipa, an and Mrs. Seguin, Hall, Castie and Campbell ared im their best ro/es, ‘The inn- keeper (Mr. Howard) was mediocre in every respes and Mr. De Solla was the best Lorenzo we hav seen for some tme on the stage. The chorus and orchestra were unexceptionatle. ‘“Trovatore”’ lor Laurence’s benefit to-night, ACADEMY OF MUSIC, BROOKLYN~FECUTER AS CLAUDE MELNOTTR.—AS we had predicted, the Academy of Music was last night crowded with Brooklyn's brigntest and best. We have seldom seen the Academy so weil filled, and what struck us very particularly was thatthe audience was composed cniedy of the sterner sex. It was an unmistakable tribute to genius. Evidently the expectation of the Vast assemblage #tood on tiptoe. It was not doomed to disappointment, Buiwer’s fine play was never better put on the stage. Certainly the parts were never better filled, Fechter was grand. Miss Leclereq was exquisite, We have never seen a more genuine Claude; never a more perfect Pauline. Fechter ts great as a lover, Last night he was his true self. It was diMcuit to believe that the rap- turous, strong willed, gencrous boy was the meiau- choly Dane of the previous night. The andicnce ‘was carried captive. At the end of the fourth act the euthusiasin Was absolutely uncontrollable, Once and again and again were Fechter and Miss Le- clereq summoned before the curtain, If any one goubis Feehter’s genius jet hin go see him in the fourth act of the “Lady of lLyons.'’ Let him see him again as he rewurns giory-marked from the war, But, grand as he was, Paulie was his rival. In passion scenes Miss Le- clerca bas but tew equais, Her atutudes and movements reveal the skiliul trainmg of a great master, As we had beiieved, the marks of Fechter’s foreign accent were last night less ana less distiuc: We doubt if the description of the Lake of Cc was ever more finely spoken. Ali the over parts were well filed, It Wasa great night; nor will it be s00n furgotton, RELIGIOUS CEREMONIES. Dedication of a Methodist Church at Morrise town, N.
