 THE NILSSON CONCERT.
 The public of this city have again had the pleasure of listening to the queen of song Christine Nilsson. That the opportunity was eagerly seized was manifest from the large and fine audience that was present at Carlps Opera House last evening, when the great ar tist breathed forth her delightful notes Madame Nilsson's entrance upon the stage was greeted with warmth which showed how highly she is appreciated by New Ha ven's best citizens and evidently gave her much pleasure. The expressions of regard, however, grew into great enthusiasm at the close of the first song of the artist. The loveliness of her voice acted like magic upon her auditors, and the storms of applause were genuine expressions of delight. Music indeed has charms to soothe and as well has Madame Nilsson's voice possesses all of these qualities. With her expres. sion and execution there can be little fault found, and the richness and purity of her notes, clearly rounded and formed, go straight to the hearts of the hear ,xryifI ody 8 subtle influence which soothes and charms, or aroases to enthusiasm which must find expression in more than words can give, and the result is rigorous handclapping. Madame Nilsson in response to encores sang s'La Serenata," by Braza, ''Kulldansen," a Swedish folk song, the "Swanee River'' and ''Mandom Mod Och Morska Man." The "Swanee River" perhaps showed the beauti ful qualities of her voice to the best advan- tage, her delicate shading and modulationa belng thrilling, sweet and pure. The 'Jewel Song" from Faust was brilliantly and exquis ltely sung, and here she also showed her powers as an actress. It caused perhaps regret in the minds of many that the artist did not appear in opera, which, with out doubt, would have been del ightful, Al though Madame Nilsson was the central figure of the entertainment, the honors were justly and fairly distributed. Miss Hope Glenn re- ceived large share of them, and they were PA@Soo' 1LoA FOiCC kCOu- traito) was simply glorious, possessing a wealth of richness and volume which is as remarkable as it is rare. Nothing could have been more musical than her deep, rich tones, and her execution was marked for it's excel fence and perfection. The only fault that might be found would be that her notes in the upper register did not harmonize com pletely with those of the lower. An encore was given each of her renditions, and her efforts formed 8 most gratifying feature of the concert. The audience were not stinting in their praise, and bestowed a large share of it upon Signor Del Puente, who is favorite artist. His admirable work last evening will only add to his already great popularity. The renderings of the Mendels sohn Quintette club was another feature of the entertainment which added greatly to the enjoyment "Minuetto,' an exquisite thing given by them at the close, was as fascinat- ing as it was cleverly performed. The only weak number in the performance was the singing of the tenor, MT. Biorksten, whose voice did not inspire confidence, and lacked force and expression. Some excuse is to be made, however, on account of this being his first season before the public, Such 8 con- cert is rarity and those who attended are to be congratulated. We are requested to state by some who were annoyed that teIephoning, the shovelling of coal in the cellar and the rumbling of carriages in the courtway are nuisances which frequently occur and should be abated.
