SHARPS AND FLATS.

ST. Paul opera-goers, who were disap-
pointed by the Hess company being unable TO
play an engagement in st. Paul recently, will
have the pleasure of visiting this CITY and
seeing that big musical organization during
its coming engagement at the Lyceum thea
ter during the week of Monday, Oct. Is. On
the above named evening will occur the
formal opening Of that magnificent place Of
amusement under its new management. And
a most brilliant fashionable and cultured
audience will undoubtedly fill every vacant
space in the commodious auditorium. There
are still with the company all the great artists
that made the Grand opera house ring with
tunefuI melodies Guringit successful engage
ment at that place of amusement last July
That remarkable tenor, Albert Louis Guile
Nine. Francesca Guthrie, Miss Camille Mouri
Miss Minnie PabSt. Emily White, William Mer-
tens, the greatest English speaking baritone;
Joseph Benedict. Ricardo Ricci William
Castle, Emil Senger, Henry Packard, John
Read, Edmund Torpi, besides an orchestra Of
thrtv-fve musicians under the leadership of
the experienced Behrens, and chorus of
siXty-five voices, go to complete the great en-
semble. The sale OF seats for the engage
ment will commence at the Lyceum theater
box Office next Wednesday morning at 8
O'Clock. Ana in the meantime the reper-
toire will be announced, which has not as
yet been fully decided upon. But several of
the most popular and melodiOus operas of
the greatest composers will be selected for
this important event.
The event, or rather the events, of the
week have been. OF course, the Strauss con-
certs at the Exposition, and although uni
versally delighted with the waltz wizard, ~
Minneapolis music lovers are forced to the
conclusion that the Danz orchestra does not
suffer much by comparison, and that a pro-
gramme of Strauss music rendered by Danz
would not give less pleasure.
The Negara concert at the Grand opera
house on Tuesday, the 21st of this month,
will be the first OF a series of three operate
concerts i'll costume. The pupils of SCR.
Vegara are working very hard 10 make these
concerts memorable, and will no doubt dc
| justice to their master. The attraction will
| no doubt be Miss Josephine Jennings, the
| we'll known singer of this city. who by the
| way will not go to Europe to finish her stud
| les, as stated. but will remain right here; in
| fact. she never intenced doing so. although
| Mr.. Hess gave her great inducements to &c
| on the stage. She will appear at Sgr. Vegara'
concerts only, with whom she is still study
ing for concerts and oratorios. Among 9th
| ers who Will appear are Mrs. Anna Pratt Lar
abee, Nine Lillian Cutter. Miss Lottie Hollis
| Miss Van Etten and Miss Gardner, of St
| Paul; Misses Sadie and Theresa Frankel
! Miss Gertie Reeves. Mr.. Bowen and Mr.. W
