The Concert and Opera Last Night
The Theatre last evening was comfortably
filed with 3 very appreciative audience,
which included the majority Of our prom
inent amateurs. Madame Csrreno's reputa-
ton is well known in Savannah, and the very
favorable impression she created here few
seasons since, with the Kate ThaVer Troupe,
is well remembered, hence treat was ex-
pected from this performance, aud none
were disappointed.
In consequence of railroad detention the
company did not arrive here until after
seven O'Clock, and It was nearly eight be-
fore their baggage reached the Ineatre.
Thus the audience were kept waiting over
half an hour. but bore the annoyance most
good humoredly, and accorded the several
artists on their appearance enthusiastic ap-
plause.
Mad. Carreno is not only a wonderful
artist, but an exceedingly handsome woman,
and great favorite with the musical dille-
tamil of Savannah. She completely cap
tivated her audience by her matchless per
Torrance of ''Rapsodie Hongroise," No. 2
(Liszt), and gave as an encore "Home,
Sweet Home" (Thalberg), In q style that
threw her hearers into ecstacies. She has
most exquisite touch, and her playing
was simply magnificent. Her second num-
Der, airs and variations (Hande), "Fantaisie
on Rigoletton (Liszt), was most
artistic effort and keenlY apprecia-
ted by the audience. Her con-
GLIDING number, "Nocturnen In D fiat
was followed by beautiful composition of
her own, "Springtime" waltz, which was
received with great favor. 1t is due this
accomplished artist to state that the piano
used last night isinot.her own instrument. A
splendid Decker upright, which she carries
with her, owing to the lateness Of their
arrival, could not be brought up from the
depot in time for the performance.
Sig. Stantini possesses fiue voice, and
Gang In excellent tune "La Dome Mobile'
(Verd1), and, In response to the hearty ap
plause, gave "I'm a Muleteer." Miss
Underhill sang, with rare expression and
sweetness, "Vanne from Robert lie Diablen
tMeyerbeer), and for an encore gave
"Dresden China" (Molloy). which was
greeted with deal of enthusiasm.
Miss Emma Roderick's rich, mellow voice,
full compass and under fine control, was
heard for the first time here in the beautiful
song, "She Wandered Down the Mountain
Side" and made deep impression. The
delighted audience applauded her heartily,
and she favored them with "The Maid of
Dundee" with charming expression.
S-g. Tagliapietra was suffering from a
severe cold, which was very noticeable In
his singing, which, nevertheless, called
forth the appreciation OF the intelligent
house. The concert proper was, as pre-
dicted, rare musical treat, and the fire.
quent and cordial applause attested their
pleasure.
The entertainment closed with the fourth
act OF ''D Trovatore," which was well pre-
sented, with the following cast: "Leonors,"
Miss E. Roderick; "Azucena," Miss E. L.
Underhill; "Manrico," Signor Roberto
Staltini; "Count de Luna" Signor Taglia-
pietra. The various beautiful gems of this
popular opera were brought out with superb
effect and expression, and were rapturously
applauded.
The company give a matinee this after
noon, and 10 night take their farewell of
Savannah, when the concert will be fol-
lowed by an act from the charming opera Of
Martha"
