the audience, at once thaws the coldness Of the
public and makes her hosts Of friends.
In the first act Miss Hauck gave promise Of
achieving extraordinary success. Her voice is
sweet and sympathetic, though not strong, and
ms ne aria, Come per me SerenO," she created
quite sensation. In this aria her vooaliz alton
seemed similar and quite equal to Adelina
PATHS, but her acting was not pleasant. She
appeared stiG, and lacked that ESPRIT with which
Patti charms us in "Amina."
In the quartette, "Red non Son " in the second
act, Miss Hauck improved in expression and
sang with better taste At the fall of the cur
tam MISS Hauok was vocferously applauded,
and was afterwards called to the front to re-
ceiVe the plaudits oil her admiring friends.
Miss Haucks finest achievement was in the
aria tina e, "Ah non gi,,n1e.r This was exc
cuted in fine style, and stamped the debu
tonte as young artist of great promise. II was
in this that the stiffness of the noyitiate passed
away, and the artist appeared before us. 1t was
the chef d6uUre OF the opera.
Signor Baragli, the new tenor, made a favor
able impression in "Eluno." He ia n fair artist;
his voice is very sweet tenor dt qrazio tending,
however, in the higher notes to fqlseHo which
tendency he ingeniously suppresses. He lacks
strength and volume of voice. He will be
favorite with the ladies. He has the remarkable
faculty of thrilling" like a prma donna. He
restored the duet of The frst act with "Amina.r

been commonly omitted both here and else

with distinct appreciation, albeit the regret was
manifested that so conscientious and intelligent
anartist should be wanting in that liberal tone
to which we are chiefly accustomed.
BaraRlfs rendition of "Ah per che non posse
od'orC," showed him to be an artist of good
ability, and it was heartily encored.
Signor Antonucci, as Count Rudolfo, " sang
the aria ~ rduuison glorlously, and it is
scarcely necessary to say that he acquitted him
self with his usual excellence and maintained
throughout the high reputation that has always
distinguished this old favorite of opera goers.

The whole performance was a complete success,
and the chief singers, besides having nearly
every piece encored, were called several times
before the curtain during the evening to receive
the plaudits of delighted aud apprecatiye
audience.
We would suggest TO the management that
La Sonndmlbutd be given for a matinee next
saturday week, with Hauck and Baragli. II
would attract fine audience.
The audience at the Academy last evening
was considerably superior in numbers and
style 10 any that we have seen this season. We
sincerely trust that the management will re-
duce their rates OF admission, and put S25OO in
the house each evening instead of $1,000 or
$1,000. This plan would popularize the Italian
Opera, and secure the managers of great enter.
