GOUNOD'S FAUST.
A Splendid Rendition by the
New York Opera Co.


New York Opera Co.
Yesterday evening Gounod's we'll |
known opera, " Faust" was present
ed at the Hawaiian Opera House by
the New York Opera Company, with
the following cast:
Margareta. ..... Miss Camille Mouri
Wortho ........... Miss Fannie Myers
Faust ....M Mr.. Robt. Stantini
Valentino ....,... Mr.. Sylvan Langlois
Wagner. MIR. &. Dean
and
Mephistopheles. Mr.. w. III. Hamilton
Another large audience greeted
the company, the house being filed
in every part. His Elk. Governor
Dominis, Mr.. Jas. w. Robertson,
II. Ms Chamberlain, and Mrs. Rob
ertson occupied seats in the Royal
box. In the box on the opposite
side were Hon. w. 81. Cornwell and
ladies. One of the upper boxes was
occupied by DIR. Taylor of New York
and party of ladies and gentlemen.
The front of this box was very hand
somely decorated with flowers and
evergreens. In the body of the house
were q large number of our most
prominent society people.
The leading character in Faust is
undoubtedly Mephistopheles, which
was personated by Mr.. w. 81. Ham
ilton. With regard to this gentle
mans performance the voice of criti-
cism must remain silent, and only
that of the highest praise be heard.
Such grand singing has rarely been
heard in our opera house and in
addition to his artistic qualifications
as q vocalist his acting throughout
was marked by dramatic feeling OF
the highest order. There is one
prominent feature of Mr.. Hamilton's
singing and that is his clear enun-
citation. 1t always enhances the
pleasure of an audience to hear what
singer is singing about. The large
audience showed its approval of his
efforts by the warmest kind of ap.
plause.
Miss Mouri as Margare.a gave a
charming representation of the char
acter, singing with great brilliancy
and fully confirming the favorable
impression created on the opening
night. The jewel song was voca
gem.
Miss Myers took the dual roles O
Siebel and Marta, and especially
distinguished herself by her clever
work.
MIR. Stantini as Faust was thor
oughly successful, and the part o
Valentine was we'll sustained by MI
Langlois.
! The chorus sang excellently, ant
the opera was mounted with mucl
care, the whole stage arrangement
as we'll as the effects and scenery
evidencing laudable desire on tn
part of the management to give a
perfect a performance as possible.
