ENTERTAINlf ENTS.
Hyperion Theater.

The outlook for the promised per- formanee of Bizet's fascinating opera, |"Carmen,' at the Hyperion theater on Friday evening next, seems unusually brilliant. To do justice to the occasion, MT. Heinrich Conre.d and Mr. G. B. Bunnell announce a magnificent cast faultIess stage settings and an admir- Iable musical interpretation under the expert direstorship of MT. Gustav sIIinrichs.
 .i Under the circumstances, it will be /strange indeed if New Haven and Yale do not respond enthusiastically to the bppeal which will be made in Carmen by the famous company from the New York Metropolitan Opera house. The east is to be headed by that extraor- linary artist, Madamoiselle Emma Calve, who for the past eight or nine seasons has identified herself both here and in Europe with the part of the wayward, beautiful and bewitching ci- garette girl.
 Mademoiselle Calve studied the char acter in Seville, the home of Bizet's heroine. She imparts to it the daring realism, the perverse charm and the leveltry which have always been such striking features of her impersonation. Her voice is said to be as beautiful in quality and as dexterously managed Us it was when she first sang the role.
 Wherever Mile. Calve has appeared this year she has drawn great houses. During the past twelve months she has interpreted Marguerite in Berlloz's Damnation of Faust" Salome in Mas 6enetss "Herodiade," Louise in a new opera called La Carmeite,'' Messaline Il Isidore de Lara's work of the same name, and the title part in new one hct opera by Missa, named "Mague- one" Here her efforts have this sea- son been confined to the three roles of Carmen, Santuzza and Marguerite-the Marguerite of Boito not Gounod's. But is as Carmen, above all that she has seemed most admirable, and it is as Carmen that she will be best remem- 3ered in this country.
 Mile. Calve appeared at the Boston heater on Saturday last in Carmen" o the largest house of this season in Boston, and received an ovation.
