The OPERA OF CIsDERELLA-The Concert Of
the Musical Institute at the Tabernacle. Thursday
evening last entirely successful The public are
certainly much indebted 10 the spirited managers Mr..
Meisgs for veniurng upon enterprise so novel As
the production of entire opera whou, depending In
any degree upon the Illusions of costume and scenery
snd for the Efficient In which the arrangements
carried out. The choruses this occasion were
large and gave evidence OF thorough drilling although
there was rather an unpleasant prepondersnce Of bass
and tenor soprano the effect of which was much
increased by the disposition of some few male members
of the chorus TO make themselves unduly prominent.
These defects we have doubt, will be remedled In
time.
Its not to be expected that the object for which the
Institute was organized that of fostering and bringing
out resident talent will always permit the principal
parts to be filed by artists of the first order and II can
not be denied that in this respect the performance OF
Thursday evening contrasts unfavorsbly with previous
representations Of the same opera at which we have
been present but from this remark we desire to ex
cept Mrs Jones who sustained the character Of Cnder
| ella This lady whom we heard for the first time dis
played on this occasion power and compass OF voice
and correctness Of style and expression which really
surprised US, and which give promise that by digent
study she will become artist OF unusual excellence
We hope that the very liberal encouragement received
by the Institute on this occasion will induce repetition
Of the performance.
" Yesterday was a cold drzzly day, and the
churches were but thiny attended Those who expend
ed all their strength and patience Saturday in the task
ofmovng doubtless glad to be furnished with good
apology for keeping within doors. Rain was universally
welcome however for reasons more credtabe to the
pety and devotedness of population The earth was
never more in need at good soaking and we hope its
thirst will be fully anayed.
