SANTLEY IN OPERA.

If hardly needs to be stated that the audience
which greeted Mr.. santeys first appearance here in
opera was a large Tue reputation OF the great
baritoue In concert had reused earnest expectation
among all classes of musical people, and made his
delnt on the lyric stage OF the most exciting Incl
dents Of the season.
E1rold's opora of Zampa," unheard in America for
many wears past but familiar by innu'nerabe adapta
ons and selections from overture or scene was IN some
respects well chosen for the occasion. The music is
neither imaginative nor profound, but the melo
dies are crisp, and clear, and spirited, and
accord well with the straightforward simplicity
srd disrnctpess which marked q characteristic
OF Mr. santey's method. The part of Zompo, however,
Is in so far III that 1t requires dash and lire IN
action an intensity in dramatic feeling which MI SAINT
Ieys acting does not possess THO quiet ease ana dignity
of his manner his almost undue cOmposure OF move
,on+ and tbe calm assurance OF his delivery savored
loss NJ the corsar OF the 18th century than OF the cult
waited gentleman OF the 18th.
In mere musical regards, however, the part was SUI
nerly supC as those who have heard MI Santey on the
concert stage sure IL would be- lie carries INTO
dramatic music the same unsurpassed excellences
which are 30 evident In his execution OF ballad
and oratorio-the same broad, simple phrasng, the
same unfailing certainty of inonaton, the same
delicacy of feeling and perfect facility OF ex'
! ecution; and behind all these the undeDned but
expression OF power OF reserved force ana calm
selfcommapd which make his yocalism more impressive
than that OF any male singer We nave eyer heafu III
America The brilliant illustration OF these merits
was given in the and scena at the opening OF
the second act, "ThOu whose sweet seductive grace,
! and None can fly my law supreme" which were re-
| demanded with literal thunders OF applause.
