As - rule at u concert the opening chorus, IL
there be one, ia regarded merely as an Ice
breaker, and 1t rarely excels either In melody
or time. On this occasion the rule was reversed,
and the opening chorus was the gem OF the eve
nIng. The bohemian Girl" is full Of gems. blu
there is nothing in it prettler than the chorus IN
support OF Airline. and We have rarely, II
ever, heard it better sung than by Miss Tompson
and her class. Miss Thompson has II we'll mod
ulated, soft, musical and well cultivated voice
herself, and, what is more important IN y
teacher, she has II thorough knowledge OF music,
rs q science rs we'll as an art. and knows now
to impart that knowledge to others. The clear,
light notes OF her solo. therefore. we've taken up
by equally clear, full and correct ones on The
part OF each one OF her class OF eighteen, supple
mented by four good male Voices, anu produced
an effect rarely met with from any but u well
trained operate troupe. As u lover oil good
music. and alter hearing her selection ny
