A Brilliant Audience and Splendid Per
formance.
Bizet's sensuous music and the rugged
sentiments of his hbretlist reflect alike
in Carmen the peculiarly depraved
moral state into which modern France
had drifled. and without exception. since
the creation Of the Houk ideal, every
succeeding impersonstOr of the charming
cigarette girl has chosen 10 attempt TO
realize the RIGHTEOUSNESS Of the
gypsy tale with genuine Yankee
grit and respect for the finer
sense which characterize American
audiences VI lie de Lussan, with admira-
bic artistic taste, gives new and alto

Ter. Ia De Lussan's Carmen there Is
nothing 10 offend the most iastIdious,

be those OF a strong independent WO-
man of policy, rather than that her con-
quests shouli be made by an appeal 10

men on the stage today who can com
pare with this sOngsiress, and one who
has better grounds for her conception Of
the part. The Ideals have a masterpiece
in carmen and il viii always receive
as il merits, a fine audience like that
which thronged the Academy last night
Don Jose il perhaps the most trying
role ever written for tenor, ana CAeya-
lier Edward ScOyel chose trying opera
in which 10 make his bow TO a Richmond
audience Bizet wrote his music for
ensemble effects and the airs for tenor
are few and far between, but the debut
was a success in every sense Of the word
The handsome stage appearance OF this
new tenor, the cultured and elegant
manners. together with an ease Of
movement, were secondary TO his vocal
attachments. for that organ is admirable,
his air in the first act receiving warm
applause. The Ideals are strong in en-
semble and there was much brilliancy Ia
their singing last night. TWO finales at
least bringing 40 enthusiastic call. Mile

success, and Misses Howe OConner and

was again the cause OF enthusiastic ap-
plause. which came spontaneously during
the entire opera. In staging and cos
tuning this opera has never been sur
passed here by any company, and much
credit Is due Messrs Berger Il Leath for
handsome accessories, and TO Nj George
Bagle the efficient sage manager Of the
Ideals. Chorus and orchestra were par
excellent
This evening Martha" will be given,
with Pauline L'Alemand as Lady Har.

Proch's variations for LAllcmand;
Last Prescribed and MAppari, by
tenor, Frank BaXton, are the gems of the
opera, not forgetting an interpolated
song By W. Ii. Clark.
The house last night was the largest
ever played to by the Ideals in Richmond.
