Here Is a new story about Dean Rich

AT last New York has heard "Mignon,'
one of the pieces de resistance which Max
strakosch has been keeping back with view
torevivifyc his operate season, If perchanceit
should begin totocrease in popularity. 1t is
needless to cay that no such decrease has been
noticed, but the insatiate public ciamored for
something new, and "Mignon" was brought
forward as peace offering. The story Of the
opera is founded upon an episode of Goethe's
"Wilhelm Meister," and-relates to the theft Of
q child of noble birth by gypsies, and her
subsequent restoration to her home. The
plot supplies an abundance Of romantic Incl
dent. and several complicated love affairs are
pleasingly interviewer. Although the music
is of light character, 1t is by no means trivial
or superficial, anG the composer, N. Thomas,
has succeeded in producing not only profu'
sion Of beautiful melodies, but also Q work
abouading In those excellencies of inventive
less and science which delight the heart of a
musician. t'Mignon" was given at the Acad-
emy on Wednesday evening before very
large and brilliant audience. The centre OF
attraction was, of course, Nile. Nilsson who
BY her impersonaton ofthe gypsy girl delight
ed the auditors and gave renewed evidence Of
her remarkable versatility and vocal and
dramatic superiority. The other artis's also
won great applause, especially NJ. Capoul, who
..made love" to the unbeunded admiration Of
the fair critics in the boxes and parquette.
