Morning journal and courier., 1892-12-06

Anton Seidl and the Metropolitan or.
chestrs brought out a refined and appre-
ciative audience at the Hyperion last night.
The program consisted of extracts from
Wagner's principal operas and was divided
into two parts. The orchestra was assisted
by Miss Amanda Fabris, the well-known
American soprano, and by Mr.. Emil
Fischer, late Of the Metropolitan opera
house, New York.
As might be expected where Herr Seidl
is concerned, the music was superb, the
players being lost sight of as individuals
in the wonderful harmony of the whole,
the orchestration now making the whole
house ring with it's power, now 30 soft as
to be scarcely heard, but always sensitive
to the slightest movement of the leaders,
baton. The second number Of the first
part was, perhaps, the most attractive
feature of the evening. 1t was Elsa's
Dream, from Lohengrin, by Miss Fabris
and the entire orchestra. This young
lady's voice is very sweet and powerful
and bears evidence of the highest cult
walton. This fact, taken together with
her charming personality, secured her
several recalls. Mr.. Fischer, accompanied
by the orchestra, rendered Wotan's Fare
we'll from the Wslkure in very effective
manner. His rich bass voice raised the
audience to high pitch of enthusiasm,
and he was recalled several times. Neither
Miss Fabris nor Mr.. Fischer took any
encores.
On Friday and Saturday, with matinee on Sat
urdey at O'Clock, Mr.. John Stetsons newly or
ganized Boston Globe theater company will ap-
pear in ''The Crust of Society,"" an adaptation

Lovejoy. The sale of seats opens tomorrow
