I'm TRANCE and BrIgnOIi Monday and
Tuesday.
We are requested by Mr.. Mcclure to
state that the reserved seats for the operate
representations of La Grange and Brignoli
on Monday and Tuesday evenings of next
week, are selling so rapidly that it would be
advisable on the part of those who intend
visiting the New Theater on those ocea-
sions, TO secure some Of the few remaining
ones.
The troupe performed last evening in
Louisville, and we clip the following from
the Journal:
A large and emphatically select audi
ence welcomed The La Grange Brignoli
Troupe at Wesiger Hall last evening. We
do not remember ever TO have heard a
more charming operate concert, or to
have seen such perfect rapture exhibited
by an audience in Louisville. The open
ing solo upon the clarionet, by Signor
Ciccone, was a delicious forecasts of the
rare vocal mOTceGuC to come after. Here
the eneOring began and was kept up
throughout the evening. The artistes could
not Withstand the overwhelming demands
in many instances, and the enthusiastic
multitude enjoyed repetition of several of
the choicest pieces.
Madame La Grange met with a most
cordial reception, and at the pauses in her
execution of Casta Diva, the Swiss Echo
Song, the duet from Elixir of Love, with
Signor Sarti, and the grand romantic SYM
phOny, the Sailors Dream, for two pianos,
with Signor Brignoli, she was applauded
to the echo. She preserves her youth and
wealth of voice in q remarkable manner.
Her Casta Diva sufficiently demonstrated
her great artistic force, and the admirable
tinbre of a voice which has but few EQUALS
in this or any other country. She is as
nearly perfect as a finished vocalist as pos
slble, and she realizes in its fullest sense
the term of thoroughly educated artistic.
Her gymnasttc vocalsm is marvellous, and
her trills all that her admirers remember
when she first won from them the title Of
queen ofsong.
Although our people had seen Brignoli
but once before, we believe they greeted
him az an old acquaintance. The first notes
of the beautiful romance from Martha
proved him the same "silver-toned" tenor
that enhanced us when he and Parepa sang
in concert here last spring. His "Good-
bye, Sweetheart" which was loudly encored,
and his duet from Trovatore, with Mile
BOnheur, satisfied all that his voice is as
soft, pure, and grandly melodious as ever
while his rendering OF the piano symphony
with Madam LaGrange stamped him as a
pianist of the first order, and convinced
many of fact which they had never
known, that he has the rarest eloduence Of
music at his fingers ends as well as at his
tongues end.
Mile Stella Bonheur is graceful and
prepossessing lady. She made quite IA
vorable impression indeed, she electrified
her auditors at the very outset by the rich
mezzo soprano quality of her voice, and an
encore was awarded her Brindisi from In
cretia Borgia and drinking song from the
Grand Duchess.
Signor Sarli aided materially the pleas
ure of the concert, and in the duet with
Madame La Grange from the Elixir, fairly
won a full need of the applause which was
given.
Both solos upon the clarionet, by Signor
Ciccone, were very excellently performed,
and completely thrilled the audience with
ecstasy. As a manipulation and "liller' of
the clarionet he is little, if any, inferior
in skill and sweetness of expression to Mr..
Levi, the wOrld-iamOus oornet-player.
The work composed by Signor Brignoli
for two pianos, was brilliantly performed |
by himself and Madam La Grange. 1t !
is entitled the "Sailors Dream" but the |
strains were as echoes of familiar subjects,
among which "Thou Art So Near and Yet |
So Far" was predominant.
The Prayer, from Moses in Egypt, which |
closed the entertainment, was sung with |
splendid effect by Madam La Grange,
Mile Bonheur, Siguori Brignoli, Sarti and |
Inrini
