"yRleric I or, The Trcnsured Tokens.O
Mr. FIlflamps opera will doubtless attract a
large audience tomorrow evening at Lincoln
hall, which for tae nonce must serve as our
opera house. We hear that the scenic arrange
ments will be very complete, aud this being the
case, and the hall n y2Fy han l4Ome and COM
Portable one, there Is no reason why Lin.
coin hall opera house shOuld not he a sue
cess, Certainly Mr.. Pairlamb has proven
himself man OF great energy aud perseverance
To effect the production Of his work Ia the face
OF 50 many dilcouragrncnts aud obstacles and,
even apart from the ackuO Hledgsd high merits
0f the work itself, d1leFyes to meet with the
fullest success. At full stage rehearsal on
saturday afternoon we had Gn opportunity TO
hear the music, which at times llght anil spark
ling, then full Of tender palhOs aud profound eX-
preston, u always beautiful, ant eylnces mas
terry knowledge VI the voices and Instruments
and skill In their tfeatment. The tenor role Ia
as ine one a. We know 0f In almost any Ope-
rattle work, though the gems Of the opera are ny
nn means confined II. The soprano solo, with
harp accompaniment, In the nrst act, "Tell me,
on, tel NE, why tlls sadness" Afterwards made
the groundwork Of \ duet for the soprano ami

steal writing. The brilliant 'SJng Oi the CulI-
aHler,' In act n.st, and the duo for the baritone
and bass, In act third, "Dcar Old COnnrader -
which contains a hne description Of a haIlle-
ntll, cannot fail to please immensely. Mr.,
Falrlamb seems to unite In his music, to very
hlGh degree the merits Of both the Italian aud
Trman schools Of musical composition. His
mslndics are now Ing and graceful; his harmOnies
profound aud fiCh, aud frum the union Of these
proree'lsa power Oirae expression, The finale TO
the seconh act II verify genuine inspiration,
anq proves that Mr.. fairlamb has not talent
alone hut gcuius Of the very highest order. We
are satisfied that the principals will all win
lautcls by the rendering OF their several parts as
they are evidently well up In them, and plainly
showed themselves Ht rehearsal equal 10 their
work. Mrs. Fairlamb and Mr. johnson must he
especially mentioned for their nne singing and
the promise uf line acting, and Mr.. Cannon, too
seems TO nave T5'r In which we believe he will
appear to great advantage. The chorus
STGS and SGSS's and and an anaS
alone, was Splendldly sung. The dIshanl-
ment OF the late National theatre orchestra lOscs
70 9pr city some o. our best orchestral players,
Ranlze his orchestra, but this he has very sue
cessfully done, and so secured the most effective
ensemble possible. The tickets are at Messrs.
