The Concert Last Night the Musical Event Of
the Season.
The grand sacred concert at the opera
house last night brought out small, but
exceedingly appreeiative audience, The
Fireman's band opened the concert with
Gilmore IS . Salute to New York, which
was rendered in a manner that denotes
studious appl cation and progress on the
part of the members of the band.
Miss Maude Peters sang HStorm and
Sunshine in a charming manner aud
responded to the weII-merited plaudits
by singing the eyer-popular Some
Day
Mr.. De Mouche's robusto tenor voice
was heard to good advantage in Luzzi's
ave Maria
was prevented by illness from
singing the part assigned to her, and in
her stead Miss Annie Russell of the Cam
panini opera company sung an aria from
lie Prophetic. Miss Russell possesses
rich contralto voice of great compass and
volume, which added to the training
which she received at the hands of mad
anne Murio Cell, the celebrated vocal
teacher of New York viii ever command
for its owner foremost place among the
artists of the operate stage. She also
had TO yield TO persistent recalls and
charmed her hearers with the well known
ballad No, Sir. -
Signor Italo CampInina was greeted
with the warm applause which the great
dramatic tenor deserves. CuJus AMI
nam, it is safe TO assert, never received
finer Interpretation than ii did last
70
artist. He responded to the clamors of
the audience with the Italian canzonetta
"Dormi Pure.
Signorina De We're IS t'Gli Angui In
ferno' from Mozart IS Magic Flute was a
revelation of the capabilities of the human
throat, and ranks tins charming artistic
among the very finest operate song birds.
Her staccato notes in the upper register
have never been equaled by any prima,
not excepting the great Gerster, and
added to phenomenal compass, her
voice possesses sweetness and volume
that form a rarely encounteree combina-
ton. For an encore Miss De We're sang
"Mhe Last Rose of Summer -
Last, bur not least, the sonorous voice
of Signor Bologna filed the opera house
with rare and pleasing melody. Mr..
Bologna chose Appoloni IS great aria,
'f Flu Dio che Disse, - for his debut be-
fore his Fort Worth audience, a happy
selection, in that it gives his rich basso
cantante voice full scope to show at its
best Much has been said and written
of basso profundi of the Whitney and
Formes type, but it remains for an organ
such as Mr.. Bologna is possessed OF to
bring out the best type of sonorous mel
ody. The only disappointment which
Mr.. Bologna caused to the au-
dience was refusal to honor
the vociferous calls for an encore,
but this may be readily pardoned when
one considers that he was called on to
fill out a number of the programme
made vacant by the illuess Of one of the
principal players of the firemen's band,
and did so without preparation. Alto
gether the concert was perhaps the finest
musical C ncert Fort Worth ever had,
the more the pity that the house was not
packed from pit to dome.
Another opportunity will be given to
the Fort Worth public TO hear the fine
array Of artists comprising the Campanini
operate company, assisted by the fire.
