dered by the Aborn Opera Company last
night at the NATIONAL Theater for the
second time during their engagement,
with Edith Helena in the title part. Agos-
TIM as Edgardo, and Pcco as Sir Henry.
All the well-known passages were rap
turously greeted by the large audience,
and repetitions were compelled for the
orchestral prelude to the second scene
and for the sextet, which was splendidly
rendered.
Mime. Helena's soprano, put to the su-
preme test in the scene of Lucia's mad
ness, rang out with glorious power and
purity. Agostini also was at his best in
the several strongly dramatic arias of his
role. The entire company sang with
spirit and maintained the standard Of
vigor and accuracy at the previous per-
formances.
