At the Opera.

II Is difficult thing to choose between those four
matchless creations OF Christine Nilsson, namely
The Traviata; Lucia, Marguerite and Mignon. She
invests each with q grace, nameess charm. .
natural, yet seductive beauty, and magnetism
which leaves its effect long after the eye
has been Withdrawn from the memorable
scenes which she impersonates as OILY o
great artist can, and long after the ear has
drunk In the intoxicating tones of one Of
the sweetest voices that ever charmed an
audience. But the Dame dur Canaeltas
that naughty Dumas creation, Is etheriaized
and refined by the swedish Nightingale in
such manDer that we experience only feelings OF
pity for the unhappy lady, and never think OF the
unpleasant character that would seem TO place her
outside the pale Of society. Nisson's Traviata we
think OF the very best roles in her repertoire
OF course, Mgnon Is new and charming, besides
but then Thomas is as far removed from
Verdi IN an operate point OF view as Carl
dore Thomas. Nilsson seemed 10 realize
on this occasion that 1t was her last PER-
formancc IN this city OF one OF what she calls ner
favorite rOies, and never was she so grand In the
sat IN Mr.. Barlow5 box, with MIR. Calacazy and
number OF friends, and his unegulvocally expressed
enthusiasm may have had tho effect or rous-
ing the Casta Diva even beyond her wOnted
ARTIST nothing short OF severe indsposition can
interfere with her artistic Interpretation or role.
To CapOul and Barre word oil praise due for their
very excellent rendering OF The roles OF the two

this opera before, and these lew remarks VIII suce

hausting The subject on the exquisite mpersonaton

In the Mexican, Congress TINT the Free
Zone was createdin part, ifnot altogether,
as a measure Of annoyance or hostility to

source Of much embarrassment to Our
