Carefully % tina Opera was surg, 70 far az regards
The principal trgers are concerned. II must be con
fesscd that in vocal strength and endurance they arc
unequal 70 aleyes music. Ii j. no disparigement to

pable artists. but this music oyetaskf oil bnt stenor

sportsniety, 10 little realty. that IL would not be
deemed calamity II it should disappear from the op
cratic repertoire Formes did not appear, for reasons
lot explained Il would. indeed be difficult to explain
why singers do not sing
The true reason IT, Of course. that they do not choose
they have their whims and thor little vsgarles they
defy the manager and they snep their fingers at the
public which has not the pluck nor the dignity to re-
buke such n science by Kissing the perpcrator from the
stage few such decided demonstrations would

The concerted pieces. aud the ohoruses especially
were really o1,rirabe We could forgive the rest Of
the opera for tho real pleasure which this department
afforded u.s. The orchestral performances was also wei
worthy u praise.
