cA yn New Singers Heard in “‘Aida’’ - At Metropolitan By Sylvester Rawling. rT] IDA” was the bill. achieved, ‘There have been beter performances than that given last night. For one thing, Mr. Moranzoni con- @ucted too strenuously and the sing- @re contending against the blare cf the orchestra strove too hard to be|} heard, thereby forcing their voices to Jose quality. It was a. good all-round performance, nevertheless, Only the hypercritical could have failed to en- Joy it. There was justification for the of “Aid: enthusiasm of the audience, Of the newcomers Gabriella Besan- moni, who was Amneris, made the strongest impression, Her voice is rich and of wide compass, but her lower notes, of remarkable depth, she forces too much. Besides, she has a tendency to “scooping.” Much must be allowed for a first abpear- ance. At the Metropolitan there is net only nervousness to be overcome Dut there is lack of knowledge of the acoustics of the house. All in all, Miss Besanzoni, who is of good pres- ence and well equipped in. stage rou- tine, should prove a valuable addi- tion to the company. Her singing fa the last act was impassioned enough to evoke a demonstrat'on. Renato Zanelli made his debut as Amonasro. His conception of the part | \ ‘Was artistic, but lacked something of virility. He disclosed a voice which though light is of charming quality, and he used it well. Tht third stranger was Giovann! Martino. who was Ramtis.. A bit.more of sonority would bave improved his sing ng of the part. Yet it was good singing that he offered and he looked the High Priest. Altogether Mr. Gatti the weather.

Both he and Miss Muzio did some the Metropolitan Opera House last night. It served to in- troduce three singers new to the company and to draw a capacity audience, Verdi's work wears well and deserves its popularity, for in no other opera is there to be found such am artistic combination of story, drama, Yhusic, ballet and spectacle. ‘ven when presented amid crude settings, by companies lacking in quality as well as in numbers, the eharm-of it prevails.
