 This comic French opera of Audran's, that has been achieving so great success both at home and abroad, was presented last evening for the first time before New Haven audi ence, at the New Haven Opera House. As a light opera, OIvette is certainly successful, and is undoubtedly destined to have long run, but the successor of Pinafore Olivette will never be, despite the prediction of the manager who first introduced it to American audiences. It abounds in melodies which, if not always original, are seldom tiresome. The plot is worked out in the usual clever French style, and the dialogues, with one or two exceptions, are generally free from vul- garity Olivette calls for no striking scenery, but gives ample chance for the display of very pretty and, in one or two cases, hand some costumes. The opera was very fairly presented last night, the only artists deserv- ing especial notice being Miss Reynolds and Miss Richardson, the former of whom has 8 dignifed stage presence. MT. Stoyle sue ceeded in getting up 8 most extraordinary costume for Coquelicot in which character he vastly amused the house in the matter of singing. Laurents Fifth Avenue Opera com- pany hardly deserves especial praise, but it succeeded on the whole in making decided hit, and Ohvette may be set down as having scored an unusual success in New Haven and as always sure of drawing good house. At the end of the second act the entire company was encored twice and finally called before the curtain. Tonight the same company again presents Olivette, and Wednesday night Ford's English Opera Troupe gives the same opera Thus New Haven audiences will have ample opportunity of witnessing very amus- ing musical comedy.
