Notwithstanding that years have elapsed since
the formers last appearance in our midst
They sustained the roles of "Leonora' and
"Azucena" with perfect ease and equality, and
impaired to an opera which is a gem in itself
all the charms that can readily be thrown
about IL.
Signor Brignoli, we regret to say, was in his
customary mood. lie has been entrusted with
a tenor voice OF wonderful purity and richness,
perhaps the finest of the present day; but he is
either too indolent to exert himself to the full
extent OF his powers, or lacks a knowledge of
the courtesy which is due to the public from
one OF his merits and pretensions. 1t is said
that he was, on two occasions, hissed from an
European stage by audiences who were deter
mined not to submit to his easy-going style.
Perhaps If the audience last evening had
administered a similar rebulke, when Signor
Brignoli makes his appearance on Thursday
evening, as the rolioking "Don Giovanni" he
would infuse into his manner q slight tincture
of the gayety which alone can prevent his per-
sonation of the Don from being decided bur-
lesque.

agood appearance upon the stage, ana displays
