LIVE3POOL PIELTIA.EMONIC SOCIETY.

Last night the Liverpool Philharmonic Hall was
crowded to hear Madame Alboni, rrl ',dame Gassier, and
Signor Mario in a selection from Rossini's opera, " Sem i-
ramide." Madame Grisi and Herr Formes were to hay e
completed the company, but apologies were made for
them, and some or the music was of necessity omitted.
The grand duet, Bella Immxgo, to have been sung by
Madame Alboni and Herr Formes was lost, and great
part of the dart, Ebben a Te Ferisci was also lost, Madame
Gassier only undertaking the movement commencing
with Giorno Orrore, in which she was admirably
supported by Madame Alboni, bat Madame Gas-
sier undertook, and played brilliantly Bei Raggio
Lashinghere, set down for Madame Grist. Casts
Iliva was also omitted, bat in lieu Signor Mario
sung It mis tesoro very beautifully, and on being encored
gave Corn e gentit to the great delight of the audience,
Madame Alboni and Madame Gassier singing the chorus,
The two ladies also added to the programme, Rossini's
duet Quis est home from the Stetbat Meter. Madame
Alboni looked remarkably well, was in excellent voice
and spirits, and sang her music with great taste and
power. Being; encored in /4 Test° semyiee, she re-
placed it with one verse of It segreto. Madame Gassier
did not appear quite as brilliant :;as usual, but
sang very well and was encored in Ah, fora
,0
Signor Mario was suffering from severe hoarseness, but
nevertheless sung his music, including Beethoven's
charming "Adelaide," with great taste and feeling.
Signor Stanziere was very effective in the beautiful
piarao-forte accompaniment to this, and several other
songs. Theichoral parts of the selection from " Seatira
mide " went vary well, and the four part song, by
Mendelssohn, was carefully sung, but appeared a terrible
groping for melody. after Rossini's grand choruses—
"Belus we Celebrate," " Hark to Those Joyous Sounds,',
"See Proudly Towering," and " Thou the Dark Gods
Decree." The b7,,nd, under Mr. Herrman, were very
elective hi their department, which made a heavier call

upon, their exertions than usual—the f very .0--
and
brilliant. accompaniments of Rossini, forming a strik—v
contrast to the music of some other Italian composers' '
