BY w. J. HENDERSON.

The Russian Opera Company at the
New Amsterdam Theater has shown no
timidity about producing novelties. Last
evening 1t presented the fourth new work
hitherto unknown to this city. This
was Tschaikowsky's opera Christmas
Eve" work which rejoices in the pos
session Of several aliases. 1t has been
known also as "Cherevichky' (Which Is
its Russian name now). "Vakula the
Smith" and Caprice d'Oxane." And
what Is still more remarkable Is the fact
that this Is a prize opera.
The story is taken from one of Gogors
fantastic tales, Stories of Mirgorod."
The Christmas Eve tale had been chosen
in 1873 by the Grand Duchess Helena
Pavlovna for a competition created by
her. and the opera book written by
Polonsky. Five composers have used
the theme, Rimsky, Korsakov. Soloviov.
Stchourovsky and Lissenky, besides
Tschaikowsky. who won the competi-
ton.
The developments Of the opera con-
cern themselves with the Vaccinations
Of witch called ScoIooka, who enjoys
the valuable privileges of a partnership
with Satan. From this combination come
strange doings In the village of Dikanka
on a beautiful moonlit Christmas eve.
It seems that Vdkuld, the smith. has
caricatured the Depil on the walls of the
village church and that his Internal maj
esty Is peeved. He determines, just As

smith. VakuIo Is about to make a visit
