MUSICAL AND DRAMATIC.


''II TrOvntOre" by the BriHnOH Troupe.
The performance of II T'roUdtore last evening
attracted large and fashionable audience. The
popularity of the opera had something TO do
with this, but the announcement of the appear
ance of Madame Gazzaniga in the role of "Azu-
cena" had much more. This great artist has a
place in the regards of the musical public of this
city such as has never been obtained by any
other singer, and she was received with an en-
thusiasm last evening that is seldom manifested,
and that must have been in the highest
degree gratifying to the cause of it.
Madame Gazzaniga remains the greatest
actress on the lyric stage, and her personation of
the gipsy "AZucena" last evening was new
revelation of the capabilities of the part to the
Oldest opera-goers present. All the great abili-
ties that thrilled the audiences of Madame Gaz-
zaniga years ago, when the Academy of Music
was new institution, shone forth on this occa-
sion, and, although many fine singers have
personated "AZucena" since then, no such inter-
probation of the role was ever given within the
walls of the building Madame Gazzaniga acted
with passionate earnestness and tragic power
that elected the heartiest applause, and she
threw an intensity of expression into the music
that raised it from the level of melodrama into
the realms of high art.
Sgnor Brignoli is always fine in "Manrico, "
and last evening he seemed to sing with more
than usual expression; and with Miss McCul-
loch, who gave a very meritorious perform
ance as "Leonora,' and Signor Petrilli who
made an acceptable "Count di Luna" the opera
went off in spirited manner and to the gene
raj satisfaction of the audience.
This is announced as Madame Gazzanigas 3
farewell season. and one of our morning con-
temporaries makes the excellent suggestion that
grand farewell benefit shall be rendered her by
her many admirers in this city. We cannot
think of losing such an artist as Madame Gaz-
zaniga without regret, and such a compliment
as this would be a mutual occasion for con-
graduation by all parties concerned. We hope
that Madame Gazzaniga will be invited to accept
such testimonial and that she will consent to
appear oncemore in her great role of "Violetta"
in In Tanni1f0.

Miss Thompson In n New Part.

Lydia is to appear very soon in a melodrama
called Mosquito, which is said to have been
written for her by Alexander Dumas pere. Miss
Thompson's name is so associated with break
downs jigs, tights, and hair tonic, all of which
go towards producing successful burlesque
that it is doubtful where she can ever escape
into loftier and purer atmosphere.
