performance of Die Walkur with Nine.
Nordica as ''Brunhilde," at the Metro
politan opera house last night, this
being the first time she had essayed the
part In the city, her initial performance
in this season. The role was well con-
neived by Nine. Nordica, who was In
good voice. and she lent to the part
tragic intensity. In some parts II
seemed as IL she was n little out of her

year in the characters which they as
stunned and they returned to their task
with finer art and better voices than
before.
