The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1901-04-06
AT THE THEATFRS.
METROPOLITAN

Collamarinf. as Carmen, pleased an
other small audience last evening at the
Metropolitan. Although the pri1na
donna does not entirely fulfill ones ideal
OF the Spanish cigarette girl, her beauti-
full voice makes one forget any lack in
the representation. The gay, sensuous
music seems made for the warm South
ern tones which give Collamarinis voice
an individual charm. Her castanet song
was especially well sung. Russo as Don
Jose, delighted the audience not only by
his singing but by his acting as well. He
has an excellent conception Of the char
aeter of the passion-blinded brigadier
and he did not mar 1t by any suggestion
Of overriding. Alessandronis big voice
was heard to advantage In the toreador
song. The gay, rollicking tones, demand
ing, as they do, so little display of senti
ment, did not overtaX the capacities 0e
the singers voice. Miss Davis sang the
role of Michaela pleasingly. The rest Of
the cast was satisfactory.
This afternoon "u Trovatore' will he
sung, and this evening the Fencing
Master"
