A new LUCIA SEEN
AT METROPOLITAN
Mime. Barrientos Makes a
Fine Impression at
Her Debut.

Nine Maria Barrientos made her
American debut last night at the Met
ropolitan Opera House, and New York
made the acquaintance Of a new Lucia
di Lammermoor Lucias We have heard
in abundance, but since the days Of
Sembrich and Melba, with a brief re-
vival under Tetrazzini, none Of them
has caused the slightest hutter Of ex-
element TO traverse hearts still at
tuned to the great singers Of the
past. Yet this new Spanish soprano
made last night an instant and, TO
many. profound impression, and
proved herself to be an artist Of fine
attainments. whose voice, though small
was usually Of an exceedingly pleasing
quality.
Her coloratura. after her first ner-
vousness had passed. was delightfully."-
clear. and, despite the slight volume OF
her voice. even brilliant. The voice it
self at times showed a certain white
ness. and then again was Of really raw
isbinr beauty. At all times she sang
an the key and with rare grace ana
intelligence Historically, Nine. Bar
rientos proved even more unusual. she
is an artist Of a fine and distinguished
quality in face, manner and bearing;
of a warm and rich temperament, and
Of q distinct dramatic sense. her Lucy
Ashton was no puppet Of Italian opera
and if old Sir Walter could have seen
her last night he would have bowed
his splendid head in recognition of his
most beautiful and most tragic hero
me. Nine. Barrientos is indeed well
come 20 New York.
Giovanni Martinelli was exceedingly
fine in the more dramatic portions OF
Fdgardo's music. and was a splendid
and romantic figure. In the lighter
part of the music he seemed a little
heavy. The same was true Of the Lord
Fnrico of Mr.. Amato, who never looked
handsomer or more distinguished. Mr..
Rothier was admirable as Raimondo,
and Miss Minnie Egener a vision OF
ravishing beauty as Alisa.
Mr. Bavagnoli conducted with spirit:
The house was one Of the largest OF
the SET son.
