New Opera Being Composed for a sacra-
mento Lady.
A telegram from Paris of the 28th inst.
has some very pleasant things to say in re-
gard to Miss Sybil Sanderson, former
resident of this city. Itststes thar Massenet
is composing an opera especially to suit
the style of Sybil Sanderson, who, he says,
viii startle US all some day" he regards
her as another Nilsson, an exceptional
singer, with touch of passion missed in
most American singers. The opera is
called Esclarmonde," and he hopes it
will be ready for production at the Opera
Comique about April. He is putting his
whole soul in it.
The opera is of the fairy fantastic order,
the time the first century, and the scene at
Byzantium, with occasional flights in mid
air, the heroine being an imperial enchan-
tress. The opera will be produced in Amer.
lea, and Massenet may conduct himself
Until it is produced Miss Sanderson sings
no more in public. Massenet says Ameri-
can voices, as a rule, astonish rather thar
charm French ears, referring to Miss Van
zandt and Emma Nevada as examples
saying their pure crystalline soprano lacks
passion.
