Tnf ACADEMY AND CONCERTS.
The pas, week La, been literally stocked with
lyrical entertainments. No definite opinion, aud
hence no favorable or unfavorable hope-, were
formed Of NJ. Maierek's company before their AZ
rival hher from Havana; for the simple reason that
their names were not kcOwn. For this reason, II
may be affirmed, that they appeared as debuan' do
who have yet please their hearers and thus create
reputation. But he public here formed their own
opinion at once: they made allowance Of the srideni
changes Of climate from summery Havana 10 wiptry
New-York aud for tie drawbacks Of sea-sickuess
and fatigues Of ,raveng-all adverse 10 tie vocal
organs and 10 hstIonic resources. But each rep
resentstion put, these artists more IN their normal
condition. the auditors recognize their precise merit,
just as distinctly If they had been waited htLer

not without its moral which we shall let the reader
drsw for himself.
The new company commits Of Madame Medori,

For the more graceful or lighter soprano parts,
Nile Brignoli 10 provided Ii must not be inferred
that because her voice il not weghty VA the other
il has not power. 1t has and vivied by an earnest
dramatic temperament, makes itself heard and felt
throughout the Academy. In the character Of Vio-
letta in the 1rdviafa, Nile. Bngnoh achieved a
decided success, as did Madame Medori in the part
Of Elvira il Ernon,. The second soptsno OF the
company, Mile. Sulzer, has good, well-trained
organ, capable Of being interestingly employed in
tho character assigned to her.
The tenor voice Of Signor Mazzoleni is preemi-
Dently robust. When at the acme Of his sonofous
bont bis notes ring out like trnmpst then he does
not spare himself, and appears equal to any heroic
emergency OF the mimic brave.
The barytone, Signor Bellini, is now in good trim;
but his friends say, not yet in his very best condi-
tiou. lie has fine voice, something Of the same
character a. that Of the late Signor Amodio He
cbaunts ike an artist, and every successive repre-
sentation grows and more in public estimation.
The bass, Siguor Bacb, lie fine artist, and is re-
ported complete master OF bis art-bis forte being
that last of difficult characters, the borid Assyranin
Sem,ramIdo. That is test Of the culture Of the
bass artist; aud formerly when such music held eI-
elusive possession Of the lyrical stage, no one was
considered competent who could not execute it. 1t
was the study for many years OF such music, that
made Cali, Lablache Angrisani, Tamburini, the Ar
lists they we're in their day: it ID the want Of such
vocal gymnastics that results iii the presence Of
80 MANY unframed voices, who mistake noisy dec
'a'n''ion Or crude believing. for genuine song,
grace sentiment, passion. The art Of singing has
~ aceenerA'ed that the presence especially Of Il
"eh cultivated bass voice, the most difficult 70 train
