By Sylvester Rawling. R. GATTI emptied his bag of novelties for the seagon at the Metropolitan Opera House jast night when he presented for the ‘first time in America, in operatic form, Tchaikovsky's “Eugene On- gin.” The opera was sung in Italian, and although it was acclaimed bois- terously by that part of a capacity audience standing behind the rail and im the galleries, largely of Russian Dirth, it will not prove a sensation. Neither the story, which ts too tenu- ous, nor the music, which rarely rises above the pretty and pleasing, grips. The book rests upon a poem by Pushkin. A widowed Ruwian gentle- woman, Larina, has two daughters, Tatiana and Olga. The latter is in Jove with and beloved by Lenski.
