The Bostonian Opera Company begin their en-
gsgement in this city next Monday, when they
VIII produce their great successes, "Robin
Hood. = 'Suzette" and sFatinifza.. In speaking
Of their representation Of "Ro5in Hood" the Al
bany Korniao Express says: $50 capable and ex-
perienced singers az the Bostonians could infuse
life and huoysncy into the life OF any nstive
composer. and it must be admitted that much
OF the success achieved by the new opera Of
Robin Hood" at the opera house last night was
due to the excellent way In which il was sung
and acted. But after the incoherent, stupid and
vapid operate performances to which Al
banians hare listened during the past few weeks,
this opera proved a welcome and refreshing re-
lief. aRobin Hood Is the result of the com
bired efforts of two young Chicagoans, Reginald
DeKoven and H. B. Smith. The music ~ the
former is gracefully and brightly written, and in
some instances, notably the thinkers chorus in
the second act, is surprisingly original and
melodious. The lihrefto is remarkable, most OF
its characters have roisca fetre. quite novelty
in modern opera They have their prototypes
in ''Ivanhoe' snd the old English legends about
the Emery men of Sherwood forest In spite
Of the manifestly difficult task of the hhrestist
in trying to make palatable 70 the popular taste

ably WELL All the favorites were warmly and
heartily greeted on their frst entrances by the
large audience"
