LA IOsCA' SETS new STANDARD. J. !.
OFACHIEVEMENT BY LAMBARDIS

la Tosea" is easily the laurel-winner
of the operas that the Lambardi com.
pany has produced thus far in its local
season, and with the performance last
night the company rose to a new
height of strength and adaptability.
The saccharipe music of Verdi, the
Italian insistenGe on melody for the
sake of melody, on continuous beauty
of musical form, is put aside for the
episode briIlisnee of Puccini. With
Verdi the drama is suEordinated to
the music. With Puecini, the music
is made to tell the dramatic story.
In strength, grace, coherent express
sion of occasional incoherent thought,
-toeus an easily-understood paradox,
La Tosca" Is immeasurably SUI
perior to the unstable operas of Verdi,
Rossini and their school. And La
Tosca" was accordingly better re
cefved than any operas, save perhaps
Aida" that the Lanbardi song-birds
have given us.
The combination of Nine Adaberto
and Signor Agostini is strikingly eff
fectiye one for "Tosca" and probably
it will be for. other operas. Unlike
some critics, the present writer re-
CARDS the opening scene between La
Tosca and the painter, Mario Cavara-
dossi, in the Church of ST., Andrea as
one of the finest creations OF the
composer. . The marye3ous finish is
scarcely understood until one notices
how perfectly the song and drama
Of the two lovers interlock. Adaberto
and Agostini are an effective pair in
this as throughout the opera.

both in the music and the acting The
third act has a powerful double
tragedy, the first of such vivid real
ism that it makes the suicide of Tosca
come as an anti-climax.
The story, though gloomy, furnishes
a theme of graphing power and
great conference, and the music is adj

demand of some later critics for
kaleidoscope effect without continpi-

possibilities Of dissonance, contains
many passages of pure melody,
Adaberto's performance may quite
properly be characterized as superb,
marked in the first act by the dash
and yiyaeity of a Carmen and through
out direct and heart speaking pre-
sentation, the music being admirably
suited to her voice. Agostini gives
quite the best performance we have
seen from him. Giovacchini is his
inevitably capable self. The other
roles have been almost neglected by
the composer, but so far as their OPP
portunitles allow are well taken.
