METROPOLITAN THEATER. - To much
better house, and a thoroughly appreciative
audience, the italian Opera Company last
night presented thu opera of Ernani." The
orchestra, without being increased in num-
Der. was much improved by the dictatorship
Of Signor Galvsni, whose presence also gave
the singers greater confidence. The soprano
appeared TO much better advantage. Siguorita
Antoniette singing with more Of fervor ard
warmth, and receiving liberal applause. The
tenor was in equal favor with that shown on
the first night. Signorita Cepiili, the con-
tralto, having no place in the cast, in
response to general request, ap.
peared between the third and fourth acts,
and sang, from LA Favorita," the aria,
40, Milo Fernando" and was enthusiast.
caliy applauded, and being recalled, responded
with repetition of the final measures. As
q whole the opera was well sung, and the
company received credit from critical audi
ence, in the face Of the memory Of the recent
great operate seasons at San Francisco,
which the majority Of the auditors of Last
night had attended. The patronage hiss not
been sufficiently large to encourage the man
agement with the hope of saving the contract
price for the season, but the effort to give
italian opera here is nevertheless cre6itable
to il. Opera seasons always have in them
large element OF chance, so lar as the inan-
cial outcome is concerned. But the aug
mented favor with which the present COM
pRny is meeting, induces the continuation Of
the season to its end, and accordingly an
nouncement ia made that on Friday evening
" La Bsllo Maschera will be presented with
all the singers in the cast, the pronounced
favorite, the contraito, having therein strong
leading part. For Saturday evening, " Luz

Saturdays matinee there is promised the
fourth act Of I'll Trovatore," the first act of
"Errani," and an interlude, introducing
Miss Thorn in two popular airs.
