“Lobetanz,” a Charming Light Opera, Well Presented at the Metropolitan — Gu Jadlowker in the Title Pari| Takes Advantage of Fine Opportunity and Gadski Sings Beautifully—A Gibbr’ Waltz That Makes Mu... Talk. BY SYLVESTER RAWLING Tce Mr, Gatti, for a charming in opera! True, Ludwig Thuille, the composer of “Lobe- which you presented for the first om Saturday afternoon, has been dead some years, but it isn’t your fault that acquainted with him 's the pity that he didn’t live leng enough to accomplish greater thingt. There was something of genius in yotr putting on of this fascinating trifle within fourteen hours after one of thA most moving performances of that Jrofound love tragedy of Wagner's, “Tristin und Isolde,” wo have been priv- Mleged to see, “Lobetans” will make appeas beyond the matinee girl. Veteran opera-goers will want to hear the work once At least, and the Broadway lounger who Gares little for anything else but musical comedy is likely to drop tp to see an aggregation of pretty girls in deautiful stage pictures and charming danow and listen to musio that makes no demand upon anything except his capacity for enjoyment.

It 1s divided into thr acts, the last tn two scenes, all—esp: clally the first ahd last—exquisite ex- amples of stage portraiture that won spontaneous applause from an over- crowded house when they were disclosed oh Saturday afternoon. @» much the better for the music that {t fecalis the flower scene from “ fal”; that it eatirizes the contest of user" and the pedantry told by the orchestra in the true nerian way. There are marches waltzes and ensembles that are charm- ing. -In fact, save for Lobetanz (Merry- dance), the hero, who ver present afd ever singing or playing, neariy everything of import ts left to cHorus and to the orchestra to disclose. Hermann Jadlowker, as Lobetanz, had @ great opportunity of which he took full advantage. His voice, overlooking some faults of breathing, was a delight to hear and the charm of his youth and ot his grace and aprightliness was ir. reaistible. In nothing that be has at. tempted here has he done so well. Johanna Gadski was the Princess, Part eo light that it seemed a pity Mr. Gatt! to call upon her to take it. ‘The woman who wii be tho inspired and commanding Brunnhilde of “Goet- terdaemmerung” on Thursday night was wasted here. Yet the beauty of her voice, fresh, pure, Mmpid, exquisitely modulated, perhaps, was worth while. Such singing as she vouchsafed to us is rare indeed.

He was warmly appeared in| called upon ex the numerous curtain calls wi 6 singers. The on among iience as it was comment was not altogether favorable. In the writer's opinion i is in thorough keeping with the story and ite musical development, and {ft will become popular, Halperson remarked: “The ‘Kiss’ walt: now has a rival in the ‘Gtbbet’ waltz.

In commem- of Liszt, that composer's plano con- certo in E flat was presented, with Arthur Friedhelm, the well-known pup of Liszt, as soloist. In response to the demand of the audience Mr. Fried- heim also played Li sixth rhap- sody. The programme, with some vari- |), ations in the other numbers, was re- peated at Carnegie Hall yesterday af- ternoon, At the Hippoddome last night the orchestra gave a popular concert. Albert Spalding, the rican violinist, was to have been the star, but an acci- dent had sent him to @ hospital. The solosits who took part were Alice Niel- sen, Rosa Olitzka, Paul Morenzo and Oscar Seagle. All the concerts were well attended, and the inordinate de- mand of the audience at the Hippo- drome made for a repetition of nearly every number, Alice Nielsen winning the most plaudits. pl NEW SOPRANO APPEARS WITH THE SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA.
