I THE OMAHA DAILY BEE : - . WEDNESDAY. APRIL 13 , 1887. ? IDE LAST NOTES OF MELODY Tboy Echo in Exposition Hall to Lakine and Lohengrin. A "CUTTINQ UP" CRITICISM t Hccniu ErTcoiB Severely JJxnctlnc Music Itcmlcrctl anil MlHliitcriirctnil Tlio Artlnls anil 1'liclr Voiced. The Hrcmid Mijlit. The second nmht of the National Opera company's ongngctnunt nt tlio exposition builihng witnessed tlio performance of tlio Krand opera "holiunjjren , " by Kich- nrtlVngner. . In point of numbers tlio audience , perhaps , surpassed that of the iiifilit before , though it was more cold and npnthctic. Tlio stngu mounting , tlio * scenery , the 'costumesvero niagnillccnl in every de tail. Altogether the performance passed oll'snioothly , nnd though somewhat Jong , was by no means tiresome. It was ex actly live minutes to 13 o'clock when the curtain dropped on tlio last secnu. Tim I'orTorinancc. As already intimated , the stage setting of ' 'Lohengrin1' was magnificent beyond description , ilverything was on a scale of unparollcled splendor nnd the chorus made a volume of sound that was majes tic and thrilling. The only disappoint ment of the audicnco was in tlio leading soprano , IScrtha Pierson. It seemed strangely incongruous with the perfec tion of everything else attending the per formance that the strong part of Elsa should have been entrusted to a soprano with an cxiispernting tremolo that made her sing out of tune nearly all through tint opera. The tremolo is the rankest of nfluctation and as such is derogatory to tlio high standard of the company. Miss Ticrson's voice is absolutely devoid of any harmonious properties and oven in the ensemble passages stood out above nil others shrill and penetrating. Her stage presence is unusually tmo and her notion in some measure atoned for her vocal deficiencies. Myron \Vhltncy as the king had the best possible oppor tunity to display his magnificent voice. His grand organ tones were full of melody. and yet contained suHiciont power to fill the building better than any other of the singers. Cornelia Van Xantou failed to supply the comple ment of melody that was lacking in the other principal female part. Her volco is a very robust mezzo soprano abso lutely without sweetness except in her lower range of notes , where some good tones were heard. She sang with a de gree of dramatic fervor that won some recognition. William Ludwig as Telra- niund was again a most grateful feature with his ( ino voice , superior presence and forceful acting. William Carididus acted Lohengrin with considerable spirit and sang tlio part as well as a tenor voice of medium excellence will allow. The orchestration was the foundation of the entire performance. Ijnktnc. Tlio small and apathetic nudicnco at the matinee yesterday afternoon was dis creditable to musical culture here and disheartening to those who lilled with Mich painstaking care the requirements of Dclibo's opera "Lakmo. " The perfor mance was in every way worthy of the company nnd taken in its entirety , gave no scope for criticism. 'Jho scenery was of the tropics and the local color was artistically preserved throughout even in the make up of the dancing irirls. Pau line I/Allemand sang the title role with great conscientiousness considering tlio Jack of inspiration and displayed many points of excellence as well as homo deficiencies. Her face is incapable of expressing tragic feeling and the poor quality of tone in her lower ran go detracted from the force of her recitative. The vibration of some of her notes occasionally throw nor off the koy. Her upper tones are Tory beautiful , soft and sweet , yet won derfully telling. Her execution , as dis played in her solo in the second act , is remarkable for ease .and accuracy and would compare with any prima donna on the stage. Alon/o Stoddard as Mil- nknutha. tlio lirahmm priest , made an obvious impression by his line singing nnd dignified presence. His voice is large and sonorous and was handled with skill. Matlldrt Phillips took an incon spicuous part as as did also Jessie Bart- letl Davis. The former is valuable prin cipally for her reliability. Her voice , though of considerable range and power , never was agreeable owing to her bad use of it and straining after cheap oiled by feeling for phenom enal low notes that sound as if they came from an mnpty bnrrol. Chas. Uassctt , as Gerald had some heavy work that ho performed acceptably but not brilliantly. His voice seems inferior to his intel ligence nnd is too limited , both as to vol ume and quality for the nxictionn ot the pails for which ho is cast. Wm. Leo traa comiiotout though not conspicuous , nnd displayed a very line baritone voice nnd considerable vim in action. linkmo. A moro judicious selection than that of the opera of "Lakmo , " to bo given be tween two of Wagner's music dramas , could scarcely have boon made. A cer tain amount of intellectual fatigue ns vroll as enjoyment results from listening to the musio of the creator of the new school of opera , which demands an oc casional respite , and the exquisite musio of Do'libcs , full of tuneful melodies and abounding In graceful or.chestration , affords the very relief desired , at the same time serving ns an admirable fall to tlio weird and sombre grandeur of the "Flying Dutchman" and the bril liancy nnd wealth of dramatic fervor of the "loibmotlvo" of "Lohengrin. " "Lakmo" ficrved to introduce two or t'ireo ' singers who were not heard Mon day night. Among them Miss L'Alle- Bittiid easily lumlt ) in her impersonation ot the title rolo. Her voice i.-i a wire so prano of wonderful range and remarka- Llo brilliancy in the tipper register. Her brilliancy and cnso in attaining high notes was particularly demonstrated in the "JJoll Song , " when she hold E in nit with astounding clearness and facility. 1 hough at times tx trille nasal and unmelodious - lodious there Is a sweetness and ptirurress to her voice that is extremqly attractive. As an artist she deserves much praisn. Mr. Sloddard as "ftiltik.tntha" ranks next to the "Lakmo" of MissL'Allcmand vocally and dramatically. While his voice has not the richness of Mr. I.ml- wig's , it is a baritone of much sweetness with great powers of.expression , ami hit ; rendering of "Lakme , tnv soft looks are o orclouded" wai particularly fiuo. Mr. llassott was not suited to the part ot " ( Jcrald , " his voice being too light and ins acting cold and colorless. I < oti < m ; rln. Lohengrin being oho of the most popu lar of Wagner's operas , both for lU .never . censing melodies , and for its u- porb dramatic opportunities , U therefore always chosen by an opera company as their "ploco do resistance , " and the ono occasion for them to put before the pub lic their beat talent. This was not evi dently the idea of the NatlannI opera r , for I 4 they purposely tried , they could not have placed before an expectant public a weaker cast than the ono that presented Lohengrin last even ing. The "miso en scene" was magnifi cent , considering the little tlmo they had to get things together , and the whole character of the stage and its accessories. The overture , which Is ono of the most melodious of any of Wagner's operas , win played in a most creditable manner , though as usual tlio tendency to brinir iorward , to nn unnecessary prominence , the brass and tfie cimbnlK did not fail , and crashing above everything they too heavily underlined the "forto" passages of that n.iijustio overture. Whv .Miss llertha Piorson should have bcon selected for "Elsa" in stead of Miss Eminst .Jtich is incompre hensible. From her very first appear ance It was evident she could not uphold the exigencies of the pait , and at times it was painful tohear , her never-ceasing "vibrato" try to make itself conspicuous In the grand concerted numbers. It is also to lie regretted that Mr. Candidas did not begin the opera as ho ended it , for his delivery of the famous "Swan Song" plainly showed that lie either was utterly out of voice , or that ho never should undertake to sing the part of Lohengrin , "Knight of the Holy Grail. " Air. Uandidus , nevertheless , deserves great credit for the way ho withstood the break-down of the orchestra in the last act , a few bars before his "Fare well" to Elsa. Whether it was caused by the longing ot tlio musicians to "got through" to catch the night train for the ivvst , eager for now Holds of conquest , or whether it was the "baton" of Mr. Ilein- rich's that was at fault , it is hard to toll ; but it certainly was the unfortunate error of somebody. Owing however , to the coolness of Mr. Candidus , who never departed from his score , in a very few seconds the harmony was at rights again. Mr. Whitney's King Henry was a very fine vocal ell'ort from beginning to cud. His clear , subdued , rich voice was in its usual fine condition ami in the."ensemblo" of the first net whore ho comes forward to the footlights , above all could easily bo distinguished those deep mellow notes of the gtcat oratorio sincor. Mr.Lndwigas KrederickTelramtind was not ns strong in many ways as ho was ns the Dutchman , owing principally to the fact that ho did not have the occasion to show any great dramatic force which , with the aid of his glorious voice , gives him the place ho now occupies upon tlio grand opera stage. The most generous thing that could uo said of Ortrud is that slio did her best , and gave great spirit to her part nt times. Her singing was harsh , extremely unsympathetic and her Hatting was only too anparcnt. It is sincerely to bo hoped that the fatigue of the journey and tlio extra largo auditorium were the evils that caused these defects to bo PO glaring. On the wliolo the performance was certainly not a strong ono and if it had not been for the beautiful scenic effect ana the good work of the orches tra , "Liohongrin , " to the lovers of good musio and followers of the great com poser , would have left anything but a satisfactory impression. I. li. Notes. There was no ballot last night. The high liat nuisance was moro con spicuous than ever. Tlio full dress coats were not so num erous as on Monday night. Altogether the engagement of the American Opera company was a success , although the receipts were not what they should have been. The figures for the receipts of the entire throe performances arc not yet obtainable. Caudidus scored a decided hit. The fact that there was no ballet in "Lohen grin" proved a disappointment to moro than ono man last night. Then some of the ladies probably felt a trillo disap pointed , but managed to conceal their chagrin.UOUND UOUND FOH SAN KKANCISCO. The National Opera company's special train of Wagner sleeping coacfics , eight in number , departed westward at 1 o'clock this morning. Tlio llor Artesian Water Drill.
