= TE LAST NOTES OF MELODY. | They Echo in Exposition Hall to Lakme and Lohengrin, «+ A “CUTTING UP” CRITICISM Magnificent Scenic Effects—Severely Exacting Music Kendered and Misinterpreted—The Artists and Their Volces - The S8econd Night, The second night of the National Opera ecompany’s engagement at the exposi building witnessed the performance of the grand opera “Lohengren,” by Rich- ard Wagner, In point of numbers the audience, perhaps, surpass night before, though it was more cold and apathetie. ‘I'he stage mounting, the* scene the ‘costumes, were magnilicent in every d tail. Altogether the performance pass oft smoothly, and though somewhat long, was by no means tiresome. It was e actly live minutes to 12 o'clock when the curtain dropped on the last scene. The Pertormance, As already intimated, the stage setting of *'Lohengrin” was magnilicent beyond description. Everything was on a scale of unparelleled splendor and the chorus made a volume of sound that was majes- tic ana thrilling. The only disappoint- ment of the audience was in the leading soprano, Bertha Pierson. It seemed strangely incongruous with the perfec- tion of everything else attending the per- formance that the strong part of Elsa should have been entrusted to a soprano with an exasperating tremolo that made her sing out of tune nearly all through the opera. The tremolo i3 the rankest of affectation and as such is derogatory to the high standard of the company. iss Pierson’s voice is absolutely devotd of any harmonious properties und even in the ensemble passages stood out above ail others shrill and penetrating. Her stage presence is unusually ine and her action in some measure atoned for her vocal deficiencies. Myron Whitney as the king had the best possible oppor- tunity to display his magniticent voice. His grand organ tones were full of melody, and yet contained suflicient power to fill the building better than any other of the singers. Cornelia Van Zanten failed to supply the comple- ment of melody that was Iacking in the other principal female part. Her voice isa very robust mczzo soprano abso- lutely without swectness except in her lower range of notes, where some good tones were heard, She sang with a de- gree of dramatic fervor that won some recognition. William Ludwig as Telra- mund was again a most grateful feature ‘with his fine voice, superior presence and forceful acting. William Carididus acted Lohengrin with considerable spirit and sang the part as well as u tenor voice of medium excellence will allow. The orchestration was the foundation of the entire performance., Lakme. The small and apathetic audience at the matinee yesterday afternoon was dis- creditable to musical culture here and disheartening to those who filled with such painstaking care the requirements of Delibe's opera **Lukme.” ‘The perfor. mance was in every way worthy of the company and taken in its entirety, gaye no scope for criticism, The scenery was of the tropics and the local coior was artistically preserved throughout even in the make up of thedancing girls. Pau- line L'Allemand sang the title role with ’mm( conscientiousness considering the nck of inspiration and displayed many points of excellence as “well as some deficiencies. Her face s fncapable of expressing tragic fecling and the poor quality of tone in her lower range detracted from the force of her recitative. The vibration of some of her notes occasionally threw her off the key. Her upper tones are very beautiful, soft and sweet, yet won- derfully telling. Her execution, as dis- played in her solo in the second act, is remarkable for ease .and accuracy and would compare with any prima donna on the stage. Alonzo Stoddard as Mil- akantha, the Brahnin priest, made an ohvmnflngpresflon by his fine singing and dignified presence. His voice is Jarge und sonorous and was handled with ill. Matildx Phillips took an_incon- 8picuous part as as did also Jessie Bart- lett Davis. The former 1s valuable prin- cipally for her reliability. Her voico, though of considerable range and power, mnever was agreeable owing to her bad use of it and straining after cheap offect by feeling for phenom- enal low notes that sound as if they came from an empty barrel. Chas, Bassett, as Georald had some heavy work that he l)lurlurmed acceptably but not brilliantly. is voics scems inferior to his intel- ligence and is too limited, both as to vol- ume and quality for the exactions of the parts for which he is cast. Wm. Lee was oqml,wwut though not conspicuous, and displayed a very fine baritone voice and considerable vim in action. Lakme. A more judicious selcetion than that of the opera of “Lakme,” to be given be- tween two of Wagner’s music dramas, could searcely have been made. A cer- tain amount of intellectual fatigue as well a8 enjoyment results from listeming to the music of the creator of the new school of opera, which demands an oc- casional respite, and the exquisite music of De'libes, full of tuneful melodies and abounding in graceful orchestration, affords the very relief desired, at the game time serving as an admirable fall to the weird and sombre grandeur of the '"‘Flying Dutchman” and the bril- liancy and wealth of dramatic fervor of the “‘lebmotive" of “‘Lohengrin." “Lakme” served to introduce two or k‘hrne singers who wero not heard Mon- ay night. Among them Miss L'All mand easily leads in her lmpemnauu: of the title role. Her voice isn pure so- Eunn of wonderful range and remarka- lo brilliancy in the upper register. r brillinney and easc in attaining hign notes was particularly demonstrated in the “‘Bell Song,” when she held E m alt "_nh astounding clearvess and facility. Though at times a trifle nasal and unme- lodious there is a sweetness and purcress 1o her voice that is extremaly attractive, As an artist she doserves much praise, Mr. Stoddard as “Nilakantha" ranks Bext to the *‘Lakmo" of Miss L'Allemand voecally and dramatically. While his yoice "has not the richness of Mr. Lud- wl;(':l. it is a baritone of much sweotness with great powers of expression, and his renderis ‘Lakme, thy soft looks are o'erclouded” was particularly fine. Mr. tt was not suited to the part of “'Gerald,” his voice being too light and his acting cold and eolorless, Lohengrin, Lohengrin being one of the mest popu- . Jar of Wagner's operas, both for its mever ceasing melodies, and for its su- perb dramatic opportunities, is therefore always chosen by an opera company as their “‘ploce de resistance,” and the one glldou for them to put before the pub- thelr best talent. ‘Tlus was not evi- dently the idea of the Natianal opera Quupany, for Lad they purposely wied, - they could not have placed before an expectant public a weaker cast than the one that presented Lohengrin last e - ing. The “mise en scene’ wus magnifi- cent, considering the little time they had to get things together, and the whole character of the stage and its accessories. The overture, which is one of the most welodious of any of Wagner’s operas, was played in a most creditable manner, though as usual the tendency to bring forward, to an unnecissary prominenc tho brass and _the cimballs, did not fail, and erashing above everything they too heavily und ned the “forte'” { ssages of that majestie overtur Why Miss Bertha Pierson should have been selected for “Elsa' in- stead of Miss Emma Juch is incompre- hensible. From her very first appear- ance it was evident she could not uphold the exigencies of the part, and at times it painful to -hear, her never-coasing hrato’ try to make itself conspi in the grand concerted numbers, It is also to be regretted that Mr. Candidus did uot begin the opera as he ended it, for his delivery of the famous an Song" plainly showed that he cither was utterly out of voice, or that he never should undertake to sing the part of Lohengrin, “Knight of the Holy Grail.” Mr. Candidus, nevertheless, descrves great eredit for the way he withstood the break-down of the orchestra in the last act, a few bars betore his **Fare- It dlsa. Whether it was caused by the longing ot the musicians to “get through” to cateh the night train for the Qyest, eager for new fields of conquest, or whether it was the “baton’’ of Mr. Hein- rich’s that was at fault, it is hard to tell; but it certainly was the unfortunate error of somebody, Owing however, to the coolness of Mr. Candidus, who never departed from his score, in a very few seconds the harmony was at rights again. Mr. Whitney's King Henry was a very fine vocal effort from beginning to _end. His clear, subdued, rich voice was in its usunl fi ndition ard in the‘ensemble’ of the first act where he comes forward 1o the footlights, above all could easily be distinguished those deep mellow notes of the great oratorio singer. Mr.Ludwig as Frederick Telramund was not as strong in many ways as he was as the Datch , owing principally to the fact that he did not have the occasion to show any great dramatic force which, with the aid of his glorious voice, gives him the place he now_occupies upon the g'rnmt opera stage. The most generous thing that could be said of Ortrud 1s that she did her best, and gave great spirit to her part at times. Her singing was harsh, extremely unsympathetic and her flatting was only too anparent. It is sincercly to be hoped that the fatigue of the journey and the extra large auditorinm were the evils that caused these defects to be so glaring. On the whole the performance was certainly not a strong one and if it had not been for the beautiful scenic effect and the good work of the orches- tra, ‘‘Liohengrin,” to the lovers of good music and followers of the great com- peser, would have left anything but a satisfactory impression, L B. Note: There was no ballet last night. The high hat nuisance was more con- spicuous than ever. The full dress coats were not 50 num- erous as on Monday night. Altogether the engagement of the American Opera company was a saceess, although the receipts were not what they should have been. The figures for the receipts of the eatire three performances are not yet obtainable. Candidus scored a decided hit. The fact that there was no ballet in “Lohen- grin”’ proved a disappointment to more than onc man last night. Then some of the lndies probably felt a trifle disap- pointed, but managed to conceal their chagrin. BOUND FOR SAN FRANCISCO. The National Opera company’s special train of Wagner fl&el‘hlnz conches, eight in number, departed westward at 1 o’clock this morning, The llor Artesian Water Drill.
