MUSICAL AND DRAMATIC.
"OinOraho In English

Dinordh, it is sad was written by Meverbecr
to prove that he could treat a pie theme, and
that his genius did not need the adventitious
aids of melodramatic plot, tremendous dramatic
situations, and magnificent scenic effects. If
Dinordh is somewhat of disappointment to
many opera-goers il can only be because 1t is
heard too seldom and because certain magnif-
cence of style and subject are looked for as a
matter of course in the works of this composer.
Dinorah is a very beautiful opera, and it is well
worthy of being added to the repertoire of any
troupe that can reLder it acceptably. 1t is
characterized by all of Meyerbeers wealth of
Instrumentation, and there are traces
of his grand style all through 1t,
although this is toned down to acc ord with the
simplicity of the theme. The melodies scat
tered through it are very beautiful and some of
them are not surpassed by the more famous
numbers of the composers better known works.
The performance of this piece last evening at
the Academy of Music for the first time in Eng
lish in this city was an interesting musical
event; and considering that it was first per-
formance, and that several of the singers as
sumed their respective roles for the first time,
it passed off in very creditable manner. Miss
Rose Hersee, who impresses us more and more
the oftener we see her q thorough artist, had
in "Dinorah" part admirably suited to her.
She acted with great deal of expression, and,
with the exception of little unevenness at
times that a few repetitions of the
role will correct, she Gang the music
in manner worthy of hearty
praise. The famous shadow song in the second
act especially, was admirably rendered. Mrs.
Seguin, in the minor part of the First Goat
herd" excited cordial applause by the superior
style In which she sang the music that fell to
her share, and proved on this, as on many other
occasions, that she is genuine artist, who
believes that nothing is of too little eimportance
to do well. MIR. Bowler's "Correntin" would
have been clever comic performance if he
had not overdone 1t, although his vocalization
was hardly up to the mark. Mr.. Laurence
made a creditable representative of "Hoel," !"
but, like Mr.. Bowler, he fell short of the stand
ard of excellence to which the lady artists
attained. The choruses were moderately well
given, and the orchestration, under the leader
ship of Professor Behrens, was unusually
good. The performance altogether
was musical success, and it would have been
very enjoyable If the singing had not been
drowned in deluge of talk. The entertainment
did not conclude until nearly midnight, when it
might easily have been brought to a close at
least an hour sooner If the spoken dialogue had
been kept within reasonable limits. This was a
very serious drawback 10 the pleasure of the
audience and if the opera is repeated here it is
to be hoped that a judicious pruning of the
spoken words will reduce it to something like
reasonable limits.

Der the sorrows then decreed,
Here we bless each noble decd
All thou struggled for.
Peaceful be your sacred sleepl
While we DER your ashes weep,
We renew the pledge to keep
Laurels for the brave.
Far beyond the bounds of pain,
Fen the humblest hero slain,
Glorifed shall rise again,
Victor DER the grave!
