PIPER's OPERA HoUsE-FIRsr AP-
rEARANcE OF THE AGATHA STATES
TRouPE-"ERNANI" To-NIaHT.-The
famous and long expected Agatha
States Opera Troupe arrived at Vir-
ginia this forenoon, and this evening
will make their first appearance at
Piper's Opera House. The troupe Is
somewhat stronger than has been an
nounced, as another famous singer, In
the person Of Signor Roncovierl, has
been engaged to assist, and is with the
troupe. Verdi's celebrated and beau
tiful opera Of "Ernani" Is we'll
chosen for the opening night, as IL was
at the Metropolitan Theater, San Fran
cisco. Of that occasion the Bulletin Of
July 2sth gives the following: "Mad-
anne Agatha States had been often and
favorably heard from during her long
absence In Europe. Orlandlni and
Susini had been here before, and were
pleasantly remembered; and a new ten
or, Cecchi, was to make his appearance.
Attractions enough and Ernani was
we'll chosen to set them forth, as 1t
gives each leading voice a chance for
display, and includes splendid horuses
and a fine plot. With the exception OF
meagre mounting and dressing, the
opera was admirably produced, and
gave great satisfaction. Madame States
reception was q perfect ovation. TO
long continued applause was added a
shower of bouquets and wreaths. The
same demonstrations were repeated
with double enthusiasm at the close OF
her rendering Of the Involami. She
evinced perfect mastery of the difficult
music, and showed the thorough train
ing she has undergone. Her voice IS
at once powerful and clear, under I'D.
mirable control, giving a sustained
shake or single prolonged note with
apparent ease, but brilliant In tone,
rather than sympathetic. In the
stormiest scene and chorus 1t was
heard above all others, clear, full and
| true. The audience, comprising a
| large proportion OF critical music
lovers. was delighted with her finished
| style and fine v~ocalization, which were
continually displayed through the
evening""
