NINE PATrIIN SEMIRAMIDE.

The audience at the Academy of Music last night
was not numerous: il was also singularly hstless'
The fact that Nine Patti sang ought alone
to have crowded the house, and an incentive TO
the warmest and most demOnstrative KIND OF
enthusiasm ought to have been found IN her sing
ing. for il was much the most brilliant exhibition
that she has given this season.
The opera was "Semiramide" the last work COM
posed by ROssini for Italy, and also the last WORK
of the school in the Interpretation of which Mme
Patti has for twenty years been peerless. The
feeling of to-day does not recognize IN II
the tragic type, of which it was once
set down as an example but the judgment of to-day
cannot be blind TO the dignity mpressiveness, ana
artistic beauty of the means employed by Mme'
Patti In realizing the intentions of the composer
We are inclined 10 look upon these intentions as
amusing archaisrns, but long as they find an e1-
position in Nine. PATHS art they will continue
10 give the keenes pleasure TO all who love Deant-
ful singing for the sake of beautiful singing
Tbcra was an eager crowding forward of al the
factors that are united i'll such singing, III Mlhe'
PATHS performance last night. Her voice never
seemed more beautiful, her vocallzatlon more nm
Ished her defamation more noble her ease oI
manner more marked. And yet she had 10 sing
under the incubus of very inadequate support
and amidst the disbursement of lukewarm ap-
preclatlOn. &C.,
In spite of its style the opera is one in which
efficient cooperation Of all the artists is necessary
10 insure success, and Nine. Patti had no help that
was worthy of her. Last year with Nine. Scalchl
as Arsace it was different, and the
dnets between Semirqpdc and ArsGce were
among the Sensational occurrences Of the operatc
season. Mime. Gemma IiozZO esSaycd Inc part oi
5rsace last night. Her work this season did not
warrant the hope that she would 90 the music iSl5
iustice but her short COmlDgs were fewer ana less
Hagrant than we expected. She displayed some
gTaces of vocazation which told Of a schooling SO
good that il surely ought to have taught
her TO avoid the vocal vices which
pelsistently mar her music. There is no reason
Iy her voice should be ill-soundInG for its musical
GnaIitv is good when properly emitted. as some 9t
the mezza voce passages with Nine Pattl shoHeed.
Rut the part was not at all acted and the abSu1dlty
(which came TO Rossini rs a relic of the old Italian
opera seiai, OF giving heroic part 70 cGntlaiiO,
was intensified. OF the other parts Sig. CheruplIl
