The self-possesson Of Mile. Marie Belval, OF N.
Strakosch's new prime dome, upon the occasion Of
her debut In Paris as Novina in "Don Pasquale," ]"
was remarkable as to predispose the audience
against her, but she succeeded in spite OF this un
favorable circumstance.
Mile. Zaire Thalberg, the daughter OF Thalberg,
the pianist. is now in Paris and her early appear
ance on the lyric stage is to be expected. 1t is
said she promises to become great singer as
her father is pianist. Mile. Thalberg is just If
teen, having been born In this city in 1858.
"Ernani" was repeated at the Academy OF Music
last evening, and the large audience which wit
messed 1t was significant proof OF the apprecia-
ton OF the New York public OF Mr.. Strakosch's
efforts to present good ensemble rather than
single star. Maurel made even q more signal
than on the first representation, and CAM
panini In the title role was such an Improvement
on his first impersonation that few could recognize
the energetic. expressive tenor or last evening in
the lstless representative OF the same role few
nights ago. The other roles were about the same
as before.
'Robert the Devil' was served up in German
w
q rather crude performance, possessing only three
good elements, Mile. Canlssa as Isabella, Nine.
Lichtmay Alice and Herrmanns as Bertram.
The first OF these artists sang "Robert, tol que
Jaime" with finish and expression, and the roles
OF Alice and Bertram were commercially filled.
The title rCle was represented by tenor with
voice like q circular saw, and Rambaldo Jared
no better. The chorus, In the third act partic-
ulary, gave the idea OF the wax figures In
q museum and seemed to be constructed,
in appearance on singular architectural principles.
One or two OF the wind instruments in the
orchestra wandered of occasionally to parts un-
known, the baton Of the conductor being unable to
stop them. With the exception OF three OF the
principal singers, the performance was curious
rather than artistic.
At the Academy Of Music to-day "Mgnonn is to
be sung at the matinee, and next week Nilsson ap-
pears IN all the operas to be given. "D0n
Giovanni" win be sung on Monday evening" aud
