MUSIC.
"LCHENGRIN' IN ITALIAN.

Even II the notions Of the opera -goers concerning
the contents and spirit of Wagners "Lohengrin''
had not suffered a radical change during the Ger
man seasons at the Metropolitan there would yet
have been considerable disappointment with the
performance of that opera at the Metropolitan
Onera House last night. I.ohengrins who have sung
in Italian have been and heard here before.
l-nhappily for most Of them within the last two
years they have had to suffer comparison with
the innpersonat ton of SigDor Campanini, who. al
though he had not developed fully the manly
qualities as a singing acer which characterized the
later years of his activity at the time. nevertheless
carried himself with grace and dignity which
r,,Iy satisfied the ideal of the knight of the Swan
as il existed at that time In the popular mind.
If such a comparison was thought of last night In
connection with the Spanish tenor Vignas,
who esSayed the part 1t was only before
he spoke his farewell to the swan in tho
FIRST scene After that nobody can possibly think
OF comparing him with anything anybody. In
adequate in figure. bearing. voice and conception
OF the part his impersonation was little better than
a caricature, while the unaccountable manner In
which he matreated the music seemed for time

Under such circumstances it was not strange that
the opera passed without exciting the least en-
thuslasm. Had their roles permitted them to do

Reszke Uhe King would have redeemed 1t. but
