The Jules Grau opera Company closed
It's week S engagement last night with
a presentation of Indiana, one of AG-
dran's best works. 1t was beyond ques-
ton the strongest brightest and pref
test opera of the series. The music is
stril1ingly melodious. Even the musical
dialogue is tuneful, and the solos and
duets are gems. There was hardly num-
Der that was not encored. Some of them,
indeed had to be repeated two or three
times. So frequent were the encores
that the performance was not concluded
until long after II o'clock, when it should
have been ended by or before that hour.
The members of the company were il
good humOr and good voice-the ghost
had walked-and they made the closinG
opera the feature of the engagement.
As compared with the Grau eompany's
enga cement Of last season, the engage
ment just ended was a great success. |
Almost as many people attended this year
as last, Notwithstanding three matinees
were played last year-one Of them being
on New Years day-and there was no
bad weather during that week. During
the week just ended there were only two
matinees, and three Of the evenings were
MARRIED by damp and disagreeabie
weather.
Mr.. Grau IS to be. congratulated upor.
having got together so competent a COM
pany. His singers this year are higher
priced than were those of last year. Bur
he will. lose nothing by reason Of the ex-
ira expense. The people appreciate his
efforss, and viii support him IN making
his company as strong as It possibly can
be made without Increasing the price Of
admission.
