De Mursks appeared for the second
and last time In this city, on this tour,
at the operahouse last night. M
Don Pasquale, a comic opera, by
Donizetti, In three acts, was produced
to another large and fashionable audi
ence. The argument Of the opera as
set forth in the libretto, Is too lengthy
for publication, but In BRIEF Don Pass
quale, (Susini) orusty old bachelor,
has nephew Ernesto, (Brignoli) who
being In love with Norma, tDe Murs.
KAY a beautiful young widow, refuses
to marry as his uncle has chosen. DIR.
Malatesta, (Mr. Making is the physi-
clan and adviser Of Don Pasquale, and
he interests himself to bring about the
match between Norma and Ernesto.
From this on Don Pasquale Is placed
In ludicious and annoying situations
throughout the other two acts, and at
the close OF the first act quartette is
sung which was rendered with excel
lent effect. The opera closes by the
young couple being united with the
old mans blessing. @
De Murska acted and sung well her
part, but her voice does not appear to
as good advantage In opera as In con.
cert singing. Her histrionic talent is
up to the average standard, but does not
20 above this as does her excellent
vocalisnl. ssss -
In the moonlight duet with Brignoli
10 the first part Of scene fourth, act
third, De Murska made the hit Of the
evening. Bngnoli also sang the tenor
with that grace and harmony requisite
to accompany the delightful mezzo
soprano OF De Murska.
The weight Of the opera fell upon
Susini, who won golden opinions for
the manner in which he sustained his
part.
