THE EVENING WORLD, WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 12, 1918, Tarquini Makes a Hit in “‘Conchita;’’ F Zandonai’s Opera Well Conducted FHAABAAAAABAAASBBSALAABAAABABAAARAAA Story Upon Which It Is Founded Not Pleasant, but the Music Is Orig- inal and Fascinating, the Acting Is Well Done and the S.age Setting Is Good. Dalmores as Mateo, the Spanish Cigar Girl’s Lover, Shares Honors With Principal and the Cast Is Effective, Cam- panini Conducting With Authority. BY SYLVESTER RAWLING. SE (TVONCHITA,” the first noveity of the present operatic feason already on the wane, wee presented at the Metro- politan Opera House last night by Mr. Dippel's Philadelphia-Chicago Opera Company before a large audi- ence that received tt with every out- ward evidence of approval and en- Joyment. It served to introduce an | artist new to New York—Tarquinia, Tarquini, who is the possessor of a @elorfal voice of wide range and flexibility and a temperament. She won inetant favor and deserved it. She Ie the hit of the season and her vogue will grow. ‘The opera is in four acts, the firet In two ecenes, a third having been omitted without any serious loss to the work. ‘The composer is Riccardo Zandonal, a young Italian of whom wo are Ukely to hear more, for there is refreshing origin- @Bty and daintiness im his music with. Out the modern tendency to point-mak- img. The setting and the action suggest doth Charpentior’s ‘Louise’ and Biset's *Carmen,” put Mr. Zandonal ts not to be excused of piagiariam, Hie scoring for oth voices and orchestra is altogether Rie own. There are no tunes in the old fashioned sense, but there is no lack of melody. Always there ts graphic descr:p- then and often there is real eloquence in the utterance of the orchestra, and the music for the voices hokie much of beauty as well as the power to reflect end depict moods and actions with falih- ful reatism. THE STORY, IN ITS EXPURGAT- ED FORM, I8 NOT NICE. ‘The libretto by Maurizio Vaucaire and Carlo Zanusrini ts adapted from Pierre Louye's “La Femme et le Pantin.” All the expurgation from the original story fms failed to make tt palatable to Anglo-Gaxon taste. As it stands in the opera it goes something Ike this: A sitl worker in a cigar factory in Se- ville who, before the action begins, has been saved from insult and arrest by a young man of wealth, meets the gentle- man again, while he {s being shown over the workroom, He falls in love with her and she with him. She takes hgm to her mother's home where, in the Mother’a absence, they swear to ever- lenting love. Finding after the young man's departure that he has given her mother money, she turns into a fury, declaring that she will not be bought, leaves home and becomes a dancer in resorte of the lowest type to earn a Itving. When some monthe have elapsed the tufatuated young man finds her again 8 one of these wlaces, and, after much flouting of him, she consents to go to &@ house of his in the suburbs. He gives her the key and is to call upon her later, When he comes she refuses him entrance. Sho insults and reviles him and, finally, summoned a concealed lever to her arms, while he froths and tumes before the barred qT next day she calle upon him to ancer because he has not Killed himself as he ald he would.

Frances Alda, soprano of the Metro- politan Opera Company, and Eugen Yeaye, the Belgian violinist, gave a Joint recital In Carnegie Hall last night that was enjoyed by a large audience. Mme.

The first began with Caccini's “Ama. rill” and ended with Purcell ymphe and Shepherds."
