Gnu's Opera troupe before rather small and cold
audience Gazzaniga received with applause her
rentee after absence OF many years from the City
Churches The love sick poetess represented by
her a that verified all the praise bestowed
her previously and left nothing TO be desired There
il a depth Of rich feeling in her voice that
goes right to the heart, and, accompanied
by the highest dramatic power and finished
style, stamps her a great artist Her intonaton is
clear distinct and has Of that forced unnntu
raj manner 10 painfully perceptibe in many other
primo dome with them It is too often the habit 10
give recaiives and arms csrelessly and without
thought o. the rifle they playing Tioy think 1t
sufficient display all their powers and feeling In the
fnals Of air the closing bars were the only ones
worth attending to. Gaszanga entirely free from
this She sang throughout with the Same caro- and
finish, and IN somo parts, especially towards the
close OF the second and third acts, she
displayed genius of the highest order Tho grief and
despair of sao when discovers the perady Of her
lover and the energy with which she dashes down

wonderful dramatic power Her long absence and
iourn in Europe seems 10 have marred her voice In

favorite with the public-no one dissenting. Madame
Cash Poini, Climene was very successful She has
a fine contraito voice, weak only In the middle
register The duet "R quoi sodvs, which she
sang with Gazzaniga admirable and thawed
even the icy audience into enthusiastic applause.
Musan made a very acceptable Phaon, although his
voice lacks finish aud ease We have heard aria this
season sung with passionate fervor and abandon
than his Ahi gfusta p.na" Acandro tho high priest
was ably represented by Antonucci, whose fine bass
voice. In where he recognizes sao as hs long
lost child told with effect or the choruses the
best was that of Clmenc's damsels, at the
opening OF the second act. The orchestra was
admirably conducted by signor Muzo, and gave every
OF color and expression such s the has OF tho
Academy have long strangers 20 in opera Muzo is
painstaking director and consequently his orchestra
assists the artists instead Of confusing them has bcen
the case before under other conductors Altogether the
