MUSIC IN MINNEAPOLIS.

The Wilbur opera engagement is rap
idly drawing to a close, and lovers of
comic opera are correspondingly sad.
This week will, however, enable music
lovers to crafty their desires, enjoying
seven different operas, and all of the
highest order. People will have to Sc
cure their seats ahead, as the advance
sale is large already and the capacity of
the house is likely to be taxed to the ut
most. The operas that are to be given
this week have been given week each,
with the exception of the 1.-Two Vaga-
boudS," which ran two weeks. Each
opera will be differently costumed and
with different scenery. especially
adapted to it. New and novel
features will be introduced, such as
dances and speciality features. The
amazonian marches, which took so well
ment, will be revived. and the famous
Lace palace scene will again be given.
The incidental dances by the chorus.
led by Belle Hamilton and Nina Aims
coe, will also come in. The two ladies
have been practicing on some new
dances which promise to be novel,
and, of course, finely executed.
The following repertoire will be given.
Men lay, Merry War;" Tuesday
matIneeand evening, "Grand Du hess";
Wednesday. ''ChimeS OF Normandy"
Thursday matinee, merry War;"
Thursday evening, ezra Diavola;"
Friday, 'La MaScotte;" Saturday

songs intermingled with a vein of com

Elsa, was fully equal to her Fanchon.

j. E. Coniey as Fritz, P. w. Mares as
Prince Paul, Miss Kirwin as the
iduchess, and Miss Verona as Wanda,
ARE especially worthy of mention.

Normandy" land who has not?) were
charmed with the fine music, and
which, combined with the simple homli-
ness of the characters, makes
this winning opera favorite.
Miss Kirwin is especially fine as
the good for nothing Serpoette. Miss
Verona interprets the role of Germaine,
the lost marchioness, with becoming
to be the funniest in the country. The
two bandits in FRA Diavolo," Beppo
and Giacomo impersonated by Kohnle
and Ire Denick are features in them
selves. The close and clinging lines of
Zerlina, Miss Verona, to Lorenzo, cap
tain of the carbineers. p. W. Mares. is
a fine piece of acting. Bettina, the
MaScotte, is one of Miss Kirwin'S best
roles, and is the same nature as her
Fanchon and Elso. The Pippo of j. E.
Comfy is also very fine. The Lorenzo of
W. II. Kohne goes to show the many
diversified roles he is canable of under
taking. The farmer r )cco. by II. w.
Ire Denick, is exceptionally fine. Every
body will remember the Bohemian
Grip the DeviIshoof of Kohnle's and
the superb impersonating of the queen
of the gypsieS by Miss Christian. The

'vags," Gigot by j. c. Harvey and the
Fanchon of Miss Kirwn.
