The HueUEEoTs-Last night the second repre-
sentaticn of The Huguenots" took place at the
Astor Place Opera House, which was crowded
with brilliant and intelligent auditory. The
Opera does not seem to have attained more than
tolerable popularity among u.s. The plot is inter-
esting the dresses and properties in good keeping,
the muse en- scene admirable, and the singers, sew
orally, equal to the characters allotted to them.
But the music, though arranged with the utmost
precision and regard to the combined effects Of the
orchestra and voices lacks certain vital principle
"a glow and spontaniety Of inspiration without
which its finest passages seem cold and unsympa-
thetic. The composers art is too perceptible
throughout the whole OF the Opera There are
many brilliant and effective scenes, which one may
quietly admire and enjoy, but none Of those touches
Of true nature which we find in Robert k Dia5le.
This latter Opera of Meyerbeer, to our thinking,
is far superior TO it.
Nevertheless, no one should miss hearing the
Huguenots. 1t is rare thing to see steffanon,
Bosio, Sslvi Marni, Badisli and Colletti, on the
stage at once. Msrinis Cansone Gnerresca in the
first act, with its odd refrain of "piGi pgGl" is a
capital thing the soldier chorus Of "rataplaa 2"
the amusing fighting chorus of the two factions,
and the call Of the Waterman in the second act,
are also very characteristic and descriptive. The
Hugaenols will be given TO morrow night for the
third time, and no doubt with continued success
