them is "Rose of Castillo ~ the opera of the
opening night, one of the happeSt in charac-
ter, brightest in story and most brilliant in
music and dress that has ever been put on
the operatic stage. The second, which Is
now produced for the first time, is
"Norma,n Bellinis grand heroic opera, one
of the greatest, as all know, ever composed
by man. Miss Abbott appears as Norma
and the cast is the strongest in the company,
The third novelty is that most exquisite of
all exquisite love lyrics, the one dream Of
love and tragedy that has touched more
hearts ana dimmed more eyes with tears
than any that was ever conceived or ever
will be-"Romeo and Juliet,n set by Younod
in the most beautiful gems of music that
could delight the sense The fourth and
last novelty is of an opposite nature. Jolly,
rolicking, but romantic and rich in song and
ensemble grandeur IS "The Yeoman Of the
Guard'' the sensation of this continent last
season, Gilbert & Sullivan's latest venture
In new and untried labyrinths of musical
structure. "BOhemian Grip is too vener-
able to need second mention or Introduction

on the part OF the management of the house,

Owing to the frequent demands made
upon the management OF Boyd'S opera house
by numerous Swedish citizens of Omaha for
a return engagement of the Swedish Ladies'
Concert company, 1t was decided to secure
them for an evening that would afford all
classes an opportunity of bearing them, and
consequently this Sunday evening was
agreed upon. A programme in entire accord
with the day will be presented, containing
several sacred numbers from the great
masters. Speaking of the recent concert of
these songsters in st. Paul, the Pioneer
Press said: AT tho Newmarket, st. Paul,
last evening, seating capacity was tested by
the immense audience assembled to listen to
and be delighted by the singing of the
octette of Swedish lady singers. Fresh and
true as birds do these descendants OF the
bards of Norseand sing, and two or more of
the eight have voices, which IN range and
compass are little short Of phenomenal"

their patrons, but the coming week at the
Eden Musee will prove that they have never
yet reached the limit of their capabilities In
catering TO the public. The most astound-
ing of the weeks attractions will be gen
