"The Pilgrimage of the Rose

The most notable musical event of the
week, and one which fully tested the seating
capacity of Odd Fellows Hall. was the con-
cert of the Loring and Schumann clubs
Wednesday evening, when they joined
forces in the production of "The Pilgrim
age of the Rose" cantata by Schumann
adapted from the poem by Moritz Horn.
The conception of the poem is one of ex-
IRENE poetic beauty, and Scbumann's score
abounds in classical gems. The tale opens
with the sprlngtlme, when all nature re-
jOices, youths and maidens and fairies unite
in songs of gladness, in the midst of which
one sad voice Is heard-that of little rose
bud, which from its flowery retreat signs to
be maiden. The fairy queen reluctantly
consents and transforms the bud into a maid
of rare beauty and gives her magic rose to
guard her earthly pilgrimage. To reln-
quish this rose is to bestow happiness on
the recipient while she reyerts TO her former
state. Her experience is then related-her
marriage, motherhood aud her relinquish-
ment OF earthly delights in order to insure
the happiness of her child.
Inc production must have proven highly
satisfactory to Mr.. Loring, as il met with
the hearty approval of his audience. The
part singing was entrusted to Miss Alice
NJ. Thomas, soprano; Mrs. j. S. Mcdonald,
mezzo; Miss Hebron, alto; Miss Ella Nc

THE STORY.


Don Bamboula, who is the ruler of an oo-
scure province, is seeking a village girl, who
is willing to marry him. A male heir is
necessary to preserve the title to his duke
dom, and he is therefore most anxious to
marry, but he is so ill-fratured that none of
the court ladies will listen to his suit, and
his estates are in fair way to go to his
niece Dolores, who is next in succession.
There is legend regarding a fabulous per
son called the Sea King, who is
supposed to visit the coast once
a year for the PURPOSE of carry
ing of one of the village girls. The Sea King
IS, in reality, MateO de Vi!leieal. the right

"Robert the Devil"
The Hess Opera Company will resume
the performances of grand opera at the
Pcwell-street Theater on Tuesday, Feb
ruary 10th, with Meyerbeer's great compost
ton, Robert the Devil" The distribution
Is a notable one, including Miss Francesca
Guthrie, Signor Albert Guile, Camille
Muori, Pierre DelascO and others. Re
hearsals for this event have been going on
steadily for some days past, and it is ex-
pected the production will be the best Hess
has yet given US. The libretto may be
summed up in this, that Robert was the son
of Bertha and Bertrand. The former was
daughter of Robert, Duke Of Normandy, and
- the latte 7 a fiend in the guise Of a knight.
The opera shows the struggle in Robert be-
tween the virtue inherited from his mother
and the vice impaired by his father. He is
introduced as a lbertine, but Alice. his
foster sister, places in his hand the will of
his mother. (Which he is not to read till he
is worthy" Bertrand induces him to gam
BILE till he has lost ve-ythiBg, and finally
claims his soul; but Alice counterpots the
fend, and finally tTiumphs by reading to
Robert the will of his mother.

the principals in the distribution-Julie
