afternoon, SeibertS orchestra will give
the first orchestra concert of the sea-
son at that theater. The Seibert's
orchestra concert series were to have
been produced at ConOver hall for this
season, but this cosy little auditorium
has proven entirely too small for both
orchestra and audience, and the report
Of the change to the more commodiuS
quarters of the Metropolitan has been
very welcome to the friends and ad-
mirers Of St. PauPs most prominent
musical organization. For the remain
der of the season these concerts will be
given at the Metropolitan every second
Sunday. The programme for today S
concert, which is given below, is a COM
pound of popular standard compost
tons, representing the French, German
and Italian schools. The vocal numbers
are nuder the direction of Prof. Emil
Onet, which is In itself a guarantee Of
the excellence of this portion. The pro-
gramme is as follows:

Prof. Emil Onet, Director of Vocal
st. Paul has certainly more musical
talent than any other Of it's size. and
yet little interest is evinced by the local
singers, in all attempts to advance
and elevate the taste for good music
Prof. Onet has undertaken to produce
the opera I'll Trovatore" for two pur-
pCses-f1rst. to awaken the musical
eHthusiasm-and secondly that some
charitable Institution might reap the
benefit Of the proceeds. There are
many who think it too gigantic work
for amateurs, but an evidence of what
can be accomplished by hard study
was shown in the recitals of Faust"
as given by Prof. Onet's pupils last
year
Little fear Of the success of I'll Tro-
vatore" is anticipated if those really
interested in music will come to the
rescue. Prof. Onet has found much
| difficulty in filling out the male voice
part in chorus, and makes a final re-
quest for a large and enthusiastic at
tendance on next Tuesday evening at
7:30 p. m. Should the response be such
as hoped for, the opera will be given
Easter week. If otherwise Prof Onet
will be obliged to give UP the whole
affair.
