Offhand it might be eaid that this great work of ‘Verdt’s must depend so much upon ite and scenic effects that, in & email theatre, it coukl not be effective It wae gratifying to find that the music made its own way, despite conditions Without o star that twinkles in the local firmament the opera was given at- tractively. Josiah Zuro led his little orchestra and directed the performance well. Any opera lover not spoiled by the bigness and eplendor of the Metro- politan Opera Company's production should Rave been satisfied. To look for a % return for @ $1 investment is absurd. Enrica Clay Dillon as Aida, Mme. La Plerta as Amneria, Angelo Antolo as Amonasro, Pietm de Baasi as and Natale Cervi as the King, sang and acted well, Gluseppe Mauro as Radames was disappointing because of his stiff. ness and lack of facial expression. Charlotte Carew sang the music of the unseen Priestess. William Glullan! was the Messenger. While the chorus was smal, tt sang well, Mir. Zuro should see to it, however, that the women members of it shall not act as If the whole matter were a fark. The dancers were acceptable. ‘The audience not nearly as large as it should have been. Perhaps the fact that Caruso was singing Rodolfo in “La Botieme” at the Metropolitan Opera House at the same time had something to do with this. If so, promoters of popular Italian opera in well pause in the consid contemplated enterprises. Of course, by the end of the week, Caruso will de singing here no more for the season; but if the incomparable tenor {3 the only lure for Itallan opers-goers how 1s popu- lar-priced Italian opera to exist? Last night's performance would have been counted worthy in many a town in Italy, The question hes deeper significance. Americans are not natural born oper; lovers, The fact that two or three times a week during the prosent season people have been turned away from the Metro- politan Opera House must not be taken too seriously. The Metropolitan Opera | House is a centre of fashion around which all the aspiring social butterflies flutter. Besides, there is, a class of curiosity and wonder seckers who go to the Metropolitan Opera House to hhear—rather, to see-a Caruso, or & Mary Garden, as they go to the circus to eee freaks. It will need a boli man, with more than usual insight and pre- acience-and everybody interested will think of one without my naming him— to experiment in the depths, or th shallows, of New York's love of opera even when rendered in the vernacular. “La Boheme,” at the Metropolitan Opera House last night, drew the cus- tomary capacity audience that is bound to follow an announcement that Caruso {a to be In the cast. Of course, he was Rodolfo, which he sang at hie best. Be- fore the curtain, at the recalls, he was up to his usual tricks, perhaps more ao than ev his host of admirers in the front manifestly enjoyed it, and why ehouldn't give them their money's like that sort of thing? Frances Alda was charming Mimi, singing effectively and acting with grace. In the familiar cast were Bella Alten, Dinh Gilly, Didur, De Segurota, Pini- Corsi, Ananten, Audisio and Resohigtian, Mr. Polaceo conducting. A large and enthusiastic audience heard Mme.
