THEODORE THOMAS.


The concert given by Theodore Thomas
and his magnificent orchestra at the English
Opera House last evening was a musical
event which nae been looked for ward to with
large measure of interest by the lovers of
song OF this city, aud the realization more
than justified the bright anticipstions which
the event had excited. The capscious
building was seated in all its parts, and the
audience consisted of mspy besides the
ordinary amusement.gners OF the city.
The company as whole possesses
measure OF talent rarely fou ID
grouped together, end the entertainment, in
consequence, IS SO full of meritorious feat
ures that the auditor finds it impossible to
specify any particular part as more worthy
of cCmmer dation than another. As the
notes from the orchestra of sixty pieces,
every chord in perfect harmony, fall upon
the ear of the listener he can appreciate the
full force of their touching sweetness, bat
language fails when he attempts to convey
these varying impressions and emotions to
others. The critic, schooled to fault finding.
loses his identity in contemplating the
heavenly unison of the strains, now fast,
now slow, and ever and anon rising from the
sweet, mellow cadence to the full power OF
music's melody add filing the vast build
ing with one continuous but ever.cha nging
symphony.
In the rendition OF 1.-THE Hunters Bride,
Miss Hattie Cispper received much we'll

a "sweet singer" She possesses an ex-

Msdsm Forsch. Madi delighted the audi
ence with selection from PROSECUTE en-
titled 'Scena and Aria" Her tone is full
and clear but still feminine in richness, aud

be distinctly distinguished without effort.
Her manner Is impressive and pleasing, and
that which she feels or affects to feel the

sense. She certainly possesses high order
OF talent and VIII be a most welcome visitor

plause brought her upon the stage three
