Had the opera be- gun there, there could have been only one verdict concerning the singer. Petrella's singing was here delightful. Sincere lit- | tle artist as she is, one has to regret a generally uneven production of the voice, a tremolo that does not grow beautifully less, an annoying uncertainty of execu- tion. Last night she dropped the tremolo into the Nile, sang as she was intended to sing, and covered her umber brow with laurels. Clear, bright, sweet and firm rang the voice—and voices like Petrella's are scarce. The duet with Amonasro was the beginning of the good things, and the “Ah Fuggiani” was delightful singing throughout—one could hardly want it bet- tered. But up to this scene Petrella hardly shone as to singing. Her acting, again as usual, was earnest and intelli- gent, and her make-up is a singularly good one. Perhaps most notably the performance soared in the orchestral end. One “Aida” only we have had for years before with the Verdi orchestration. Last night we had it and great was the joy thereof. It culminated in a yell for Polacco at the end of the third act that split the ears. Salassa there was also; In excellent humor as Amonasro, wonderfully acted, wonderfully sung by the old maestro. Stealth, ferocity, the jungle stealth and ferocity, are in every move of him—one feels he ought to sing behind bars! A little grace Mr. Polacco should grant, one feels, in the duet between Amonasro and Aida. It was hurried here, also a little in the following duet of Radames and Aida. Mr. Angioletti sings the Radames. He sings 1t sweetly, without any excessive individuality, but the volce always pleases. Signorina Grassl is the Amneris —and one feels irreverently that Radames wants a lot for his money to want more than Grassi's Amneris. It is to say al- ways the same that with the rich, warm, vibrant voice of Grassi there is the ever- present tremolo, and it bobbed up se- renely last night. She looked hnd-ome and ntelligently. missed Dado's magnificent High Prl-t. in spite of Gravini's very good one, -w Mr. Cervi was the King. To-night “Aida” goes again, “La Bo- heme” this nnarnun. also to-morrow evening.
