NINE. DI MURsKA AS DISORAH.


Nine di Murska presented herself last night
in character far more picturesque, more clearly in
dividualized. and dramatically consistent than
any other she has yet shown US The embodiment OF
the poets composers conception Is always
subordinate with her the exhibition OF that marvellous
vocasm which the whole world has united celebrate
but in "Dn0rah" she does not put the text and the
score so far in ground she does in Linda
Lucia" and "sonnambula,' and her representation
Al Meyerbeers wild and charming heroine is invariably
pleasant and almost invariably truthful Her delivery
OF the music is not e1travaganty ornate She resss the
strong temptation to Observation-Disclosures which always
assals the pBa donna eggierg IN this opera and now
and then extorts admiration by noble
simplicity and breadth OF style which we
did not look for. In other scenes however
she seems fairly 10 reve in unheard Of difficulties The
shadow song OF course, was an achievement OF the
most brilliant kind gAtterIng al over with delicate
ornaments and SO perfectly and exquistely finished
that the sharpest critic could hardly 1nd fault IN IT,
The performance OF the opera a whole was not
creditabe. The only member OF the company except
Nine di Murska VINO deserved any praise was The Goat
This animal walked through his part with dignity and
composure. and did not try 70 sing. The long duet
between Corenhno veratD and Hoel MARI was an
awful trial Of the public patience and verat in his i'm
porant sceua near the beginning % the first Act was
abominable. Nine Testa whose voice has been ruined
by the r,5rqt0, appeared the First GodtHerd MI
schramm led the orchestra.
