III Trovatoren was sung last night as
Savannahians have never heard it sung
before. "Leonorar is a new role for Emma
Abbott. She has been heard here in lighter
opera than Nerdi's masterpiece, but never
has she appeared to better advantage than
she did last night as the ill-fated "Leonora.
The Theater was filled early. There was
not vacant seat downstairs, The bal
cony was crowded to tho wall, and even the
gallery was filed 1t was an audience that
could not fail to inspire the greatest singer
When Miss Abbott appeared. there was
perfect storm Of applause To he greeted
by such an audience IS a compliment, but
when later on the applause was repeated
and the little prima donna was eucored and
called before the curtain at the end of every
act, it turned into a triumph.
Miss Abbott is an ideal" Leonora." She
sings the part as few singers ever have, and
like everything else that Abbott does she
acts it with IA charm peculiar 10 herself, but
which pervades all her work. In fact she
was all that could be desired. At the end
of the second act She sang The Last Rose
Of summer and the sweet bal
lad seemed never to have been more

not then until the song was given again.
Miss Ahbott's support is about the same
as 1t was two years ago. Miss Annandales
"Azucena" was charming effort She is
the same Lizzie Annandale, and her rich,
sweet conralto voice has seldom been
heard to better advantage than when she
sang the GYPSY role. Miss Helene Ber-
tram as 'lnez," like the others, has a rich
soprano voice, and she sings and acts charm
ingly. Sig. Montegriffo is a favorite in
Savannah, and he was given an ovation.
His "Manrico" is an artistic effort and he
sang the part with unusual strength Mr..
William Broderick's "Ferrandon was adj
mirably given. He has "A deep, powerful
voice, and he uses it to great advantage Mr..
Pruette as the Count excelle1 all his former
efforts in Savannah, and he was enthusi-

counted as one of Abbott's greatest sue

Tonight the sparkling opera comique,
