MUSIC.
ADELINA PATTI IN OPERA.

II needed the coming of Adelina Patti 10 teach us
that the music Of LeonorG in Verdis III Trovatore"
can be beautifully sung. In the majority OF cases.
even when the character has received what Is COM
monty regarded as a successful presently stion, the
music has been gasped out and screamed,
to the great weariness OF the singer ana
the severe nervous irritation of the listeners. 1t is
among the most brutal in its treatment of the voice
of any of the modern scores and were It not for the
fact that it tngles with the unnaturally dramatic
blood of the opera, and compes strained attention
by it's largeness of expression,its monotony would
become intolcrably oppressive.
Though it carries It's birth-maTk in plain view, the
music of Leonora is singular product; from the
moment the tragic element is introduced in the ILL
starred meeting IA the garden, there is an end OF all
sustained cantabe and q beginning Of the spas
modic gasps with which at last the heroine gives up
her life. Not only is the voice kept on severe
strain by this music, but the highest vocal
skill and incest intelligence required to give 1t
a smooth, equable and consistent quality of tone,
artistic phrasng and an unexaggerated, truly mu-
sical feeling. Few singers have brought these Iner-
its to the Interpretation of the part.
Madame Patti, last night. sang It. Her
marvellous voice glowed with the excited
feeling of the piece, but abaed none of its purity of
intonation none Of its charm, none of its
consistency. Her unfaltoring musical instinct and
high intelligence enabled her to shade
and color each tone and phrase till it
reflected the feeling which inspired the
utterances with marvellous fidelity; and she
poured out the entire wealth Of her gifts and skill
TO give the character musical and dramatic indi-
viduality which was certainly unique on the
local opera stage 1t was performance in
all respects as luminous as that with which
she began her too brief season last
week. The music became, far as it els possible
to make it, natural expression and had in 1t some
of the repOse which, while one OF the highest and
most essential qualities of an ar'-work, has hither-
to been q stranger 10 the part Of her acting moro
need not be said than that Ill il there were as many
ne v and admirable phases as In her singing.
The opera was handsomely mounted, and the gen
era effect was superior TO what II has been Ill La
Traviata" " ii Barbiere" and Faust" Mrs Flor
ence Rice-KnOx sang the music of Azucena toleraby
in point Of time and tune, but without animation,
and she did not act the part at all. The audience
WAS very large and enthusiastic,
