"ROMEO AND, JULIET"

Its Rendition by the Abbott Opera Com
pauy-An Opera Without Merit Meri-
toriously Rendered.
The audience at the Opera House last even
ing on the occasion of the first presentation
here of Gonoud's opera of "Romeo and Juliet
was the largest of the season. The interest in
new operas is always great, and this il no ex-
ception to the rule.
The opera is q compound of excellence and
mediocrity. It retains the plot of the Shaks-
perean drama, "a nearly as possible for lyric
representation. and brings to the front the
most emotional phases of the play. It is en-
phatically two-character opera, all but
Romeo and Juliet being ;ub'er vie to ct. the
We have therefore to deal
with only these. Miss Abbott sang her lines
with excellent effect, and in the aria "Let me
live on" she won most enthusiastic encore.
The response, as we'll ~ all other of her render
iDgs, solos or concerted, betokened high ar
tistic excellence Throughout Miss Abbott
labored against disadvantages. There were few
ssrains in the opera which could be popular
under any circumstances, but she lent 2 charm
to every note that was pleasing to the most
critical nearer. z, . 81.
Barren as the opera is in popular music-or
music that in the future may become popular
it was rendered we'll throughout. The Juliet
of Miss Abbott would be regarded good upon
the dramatic atage, as would tho Romeo OF
Mr.. Castle. With the acting of either no fault
can be found, and were the performance pure
" dramatic we could find no cause of com.
plant. But we are obliged to say that though
every effort was made by Miss Abbott and her
associates to make the opera musical success
it failed. The two most effective were the bal
cony and the potion scenes, but these were
dramatic, not operate.
With the vocalization We have no fault to
find. It was--barring the chorus-good,
though not super excellent. The opera abounda
in "pretty" situations, when viewed from cal.
low eyes, but they become tame when pre-
scented to others who have wider experience.
Without disparaging the musical merits of the
company, which we rate very highly, we are
sorry they have undertaken to bolster into
popularity an opera that is almost entirely de-
void of merit. .-..
This evening 1.-THE Chimes of Normandy
will be presented. This is one of the few mod
ern operas that is in every way unexceptiona-
BILE, and is both in a musical and dramatic
sense worthy of patronage.
