First campobollo Concert.

First Campobel1o Concert.
The first of the series Of Signor
Campobello's operate Concerts oc-
cured last night at the Hawaiian
Opera House. 1t is greatly to be re-
GREETED that this initial performance
was not graced by larger audience.
But what the audience lacked in num-
bers it made up in appreciation. The
programme opened with grand duo
for two pianos, being Rondo from
Chopin op. Is. This was rendered in
spirited manner by Misses Pauline
and, Elise Joran. Next followed an
aria from Rossini, rendered by Signor
Lencioni. The piece was we'll adapted
to show the compass and power of the
Signor's voice and was sung and acted
by him in manner that produced his
recall. The Signor kindly responded
to the encore and delighted the audi
ence with another selection. Miss
May Spring then sang "Softly Signs"
from "Der Freischutz." Her voice
possesses rare sweetness and power.
She sings apparently without effort.
Although the air was rendered with
soft tones such is Miss Springs marvel
Gus disunctness of anunciation that not
a vowel or consonant sound escaped
the hearers. Being enthusiastically en-
cored she returned and sang the 'Last
Rose of Summer !" with great tender
ness and pathos. She was accom-
panied by Signor Campobello at the
piano. Miss Pauline then rendered an
exquisite violin solo, second
Polonaise Brillante by Wieniawski,
with a piano accompaniment by
Miss Lulu Joran. Mis- Pauline's style
in this selection was characterized by
great vigor of execution and perfect
command of the bow. Nothing requir-
ing rapidity, power or tenderness
seemed beyond her attainment Of
course the young lady was recalled and
of course she gave her hearers fresh
delight The second piece was more
in the pensive style and Miss Pauline
won golden opinions by her sympa-
thetic rendering.
Y Signor Campobellos enthusiastic
, reception showed that his fame had
been his forerunner. He rendered an
air from Handel, Revenge, Timotheus
Criste (Alexander's FEAST His style
and rendering are beyond criticism.
