GRAND OPERA

--~o~~S
 The National opera Company For
 One Night only At the Hyperion
 January 26th.
 The announcement that New Haven is to have another night of grand opera by the National company will no doubt be received with the greatest pleasure. by.@an lovers of music and grand opera. This very brief en. gagement will occur on Thursday night, January 26, and the opera to be presented is Wagner's ''Lohengrin, which is undoubted- ly- the most popular of Wagner's works. Hear Eloi Syiva, the celebrated tenor, who created such furore of excitement during his engagement at the Metropolitan Opera House about two years ago, will sing the title role, and it is conceded that his inpersona- ton of the Knight of the Holy Grail is most admirable, his magnificent .voice and splendid physique being perfectly suited to the ideal lover and knight: Miss Bertha Pierson, the great dramatic soprano, has won an enviable reputation as Elsa and gives most sympathetic and beautiful rendering of the role, her clear voice being we'll adapt ed to the part and her acting graceful and intelligent. Miss Clara Pools appearance as Ortrud will be an interesting feature of the cast, her grand voice and dramatic ability having every opportunity for display. Mr. William Ludwig, who sings the part of Telramund, is thorough artist and possesses a magnificent baritone voice which is used 10 the best advantage in this role Mir. Frank Vetta, the basso, who will sing the part of Henry T., King of Ger many, has received deserved praise in the leading cities for the fine rendition of this role. Beside these principals there will ap- pear whole array of Saxon and Brabantian nobles, ladies, pages, etc. The company numbers two hundred and fifty persons, in cluding fine chorus of seventy five voices and an orchestra of fifty instrumentalists under the direction of Gustav Hinrchs, who was assistant to Theodore Thomas, and has achieved merited distinction as a director of grand opera As will be seen by the an tickets will be placed on sale next Monday morning at o'clock.
