B1zET's CARMEN. !.
Another Splendid Performance by
the San Carlo COMPANY.

Bizet's Carmen was the attraction at
the Belasco Theater last night by the San
Carlo grand opera company. with Nine.
Jose. Mime. Bramonia as Mecala and Sc
gurola as Escamlio. This opera is one of
the most popular in the company's roper
toire. both as to the beauty of the music
and the variety and effect of the acting.
1t was the first appearance of Nine
Noria and she made an attractive gypsy
so far as her personal appearance was
concerned. She sang the music with In
telligent and effective appreciation, and
her Interpretation of the complex charac-
ter of Carmen was all that could be de-
sired. She was the wayward. impetuous.
passionate product of the wandering gyp-
sy to the life. and her work received the
warm appreciation of her audience in the
abundant applause that was given her.
Constantine was a wonderfully effective
Don Jose, his voice bringing out the beau
ty of the score with splendid effect. and
particularly the solo in the second act,
where he abandons everything to join the
band OF smugglers. which had to be re-
peated in response to the insistent de-
mands of the audience. Its repetition was
given with fully as fine effect as when he
sang 1t first. His voice is surely one OF
the finest both as tc purity OF tone ana
finish. that has been heard here. proving
him a tenor of the first rank.
Segurola's Escamilio was yirile ana
weH received. He sang the Toreador
sohs in the second act in such excellent
form that he was obliged to repeat 1t, al
though the good work of the chorus con-
tributed largely to the recall. The minor
roles were all we'll sung and the chorus
did most effective work The orchestra.
under Sig Conti's baton. brought out all
the beauties of Bizet's splendid orchestra
