The Western Opera company closed a sea son of grand opera last night at Bojd's with the production of ,3Iascaqui's masterpiece , "Cavallerla RustlOana , " nn act from "Rlgo- letto" and im assiiul d'armes by the young ladles of the operatic school. Viewed In a calmly critical light the per formances In the1 main were not up to the standard expected from the principals and chorus constituting' this hastily formed operatic aggregation ? , yet the season was much more highly successful artistically than the Inaugural season n year agb , although financially the week was not n success. While -organization failed In its ensemble nt times nnd very often the principals floun dered badly , showing1 hut faint appreciation of the requirements of the various roles , It would be nn nIToctlon ott the part of those who nppreclatc mimic ; to say that they did not enjoy the performances given. But while borne of the operas were rendered with a mediocrity that was surprising , there were others that could hardly bo Improved upon , notably , "Lucia" nnd "Ernanl , " while "Faust" was a success d'estlme. The pilnclpals , as n rule , were thoroughly capable , nnd had three operas been given Instead of six the season would have been greatly enhanced , both from a monetary as well as an artistic standpoint. One thing was demonstrated which , If ap preciated , should Omaha have another sea son of grand opera , cannot help but be far- reaching , and that is , music lovers of the metropolis will bupport good opera. While there were mistakes in tlio management of the enterprise Miss Clary deserves consider able praise for having inaugurated n festival season In this city. But for the future there should be no attempt made to secure n guar antee. People will purchase season tickets to any recognized and worthy com pany coming with the endorsement of Manager Wolfsohn , who has during the present tour been greatly Im pressed with the possibilities of establishing a circuit of webtern cities that are too small to support a world-famous organba- tlon llko that of Abbey nnd Gran , but suffi ciently largo to support liberally a company of artists surrounded by a capable chorus and enhanced by a fair-sized orchestra under the directorship of some ono of the well known leaders on this side of the water. The successes of the week were made by Mmo. Natall as Lucia , Miss Maconda , who made many friends by her excellent tech nique und the flute like quality of her voice , Von Doenhoff as Azucona , William Mor tens , who was thoroughly acceptable In all the roles ho appeared In. Payne Clark was not In good volco during tlio earlier days of the engagement , but made a brilliant ( suc cess as Ernanl. Perry Averlll created a furore as the Toreador , whllo Barren Berth- aid showed himself the possessor of n clear tenor voice , somewhat light In quality , but always serviceable. Pierre Delasco , whoso work In concert gave so much promise of operatic success , did not fill the measure of expectation his friends entertained for htm. Ills Mcphlsto , whllo a treat musically , failed In Its dramatic Investiture. Probably the best work ho did during the week was that of Sllvn In "Ernanl , " a highly romantic part , which suited the robustness of his well de veloped bass. The chorus was good , bad nnd Indifferent by , turns , the lack of re hearsals telling greatly against the mem bers , who , while they showed good voices , were uneven In both manner nnd method. The orchestra wna a delight to listen to und n great deal of credit Is due the veteran Max Maretzek for his 'jjcj olarly handling of the band. So much for the .professional . members of the company , but' ' quite as much of a HUO- cess was made by'Mrs. Katherlno B. Wads- worth , whose assuhiptlon of the part of Elvla In "Ernanl' was ono of the happy surprises of the be bon. Without any ad vance puffery Mrs , Wadsworth made n pronounced lilt In' ' 0110 of the heaviest of operatic roles , which1 launched her splendidly on an operatic career that promises great things for this unassuming , conscientious artiste. Omaha Joins with her sister city across the river In congratulations for this young singer , who hi llestlned to demonstrate to the effete east thju the west has emerged from smct-barbarUni and U endowed with beautiful voices tfiaj. need only opportunity to bring them prominently before the public. Friday night at 'the Exposition hall the Sousa grand concert band will bo heard In concert niwlsicl by the Apollo club chorus of 1'Hiolcig in two grand choral number * , the nmrch from "Tnnnhauser" and the K.isler hymn from "CavalHrla Hnstlcnnn , " nnd Miss ln - < .MiicnskiT , H fSew ork soprano nnc toui-hHK billlml elnqor , In vocal solos. Although - ' though Fotissi has only been here on < v wltt his new band , the memories of that eonc rt are so pleasant that ho Is an assured fixvorllo I nnd stiecMs. The muslc.il success he htis had In other places has made him famous us the most accomplished band leader of the day , nnd his band Is quite generally acknowl edged to bo very much superior to any over heard In this country , particularly In the line of lellned pro.lurtlons and spirited com edy numbers. Sousa gives such n concert ns nl can enjoy , the lovers of classic music bclnj ! regaled with selections from Wagner nm other masters , whllo they can find not hi lit ; to dcploriIn ) his nrtlstlc treatment of even the simplest popular nlrs. The less musi cally cultured nro gradually educated by hearing such music , nnd when the spirited marchcH of Sousa'a own composition ate played , the highest possible degree of musi cal enthusiasm Is aroused. In marches Sousn has pursued entirely new lines , whlcl make him famous nil over the globe , am : cirty tlitir catchy strains to every part oi this country no that they nro played , whist led nnd sung more generally than nn > thing rise of the kind known. Ho Is happy In composing melodious and pleasing strains which are suitable to every sort of rendi tion , nnd are ns striking on n piano or man dolin or In a ball room ns nt n military b.nu conrert. Ills arrangements of tht'su lire us cilefully nnd elaborately carried out as symphonies , which gives their band rendi tion unusual attractiveness and Inspiration. Another thing very much In favor of SOUMI'S concerts , good ns they are , the price of nd- mlMhm Is seldom more than $ l. which la suitable to the great mnsscs who so much love popular concerts. Mr Sousn Is returning cast nfler flvo weeks of playing nt the California Midwinter fnlr to resume his concerts nt the Modlson sqnato gat den In New York , which will be followe. ! by his rtgular engagement at Manhattan beach nnd the St. Louis , exposition nnd wind ing up about the 1st of December , n eon- tlnnous season of forty-one weeks , the long est band record In this country , which shows how highly this band Is regarded by thopo who pay big money for band music. Among the other tnuslcales and concrts for May the complimentary concert tendereJ to Miss Myrtle E. Coon Is to take place on the 22d , the date being changed from the 17th on account of the Apollo concert. Miss Coon has secured the services of some of the best talent In the city and looks forward to the success of the concert. It happens that there will bo no attraction at either of the theaters the night of Sousn's concert at the Exposition hall. The Dili putlans were book d nt Boyd's so that Sousa could not bo put In there by the Apollos , but after they were burned out so completely nt Milwaukee ns to necessitate the cancelling of all their dates the Apollo club endeavored to secure Boyd'a for the Pousa conceit , but were unable to agr e on terms of rental , so thev decided to remain at the Exposition hall , which Is quite suitable for concert work. The summer boason of the Carleton Opera company ut Boyd's , commencing May 21 , will bo Inaugurated by nn elaborate produc tion of the new "Ermlnle" as now played by the Francis Wilson company. Mr. Carleton - ton has secured ftom Mr. WlUon all right j to this opera for the entire territory west of the Missouri river. The company will be strengthened for this engagement , as Mr. Carleton Is desirous of making a success sufficient to warrant an annual season In the early summers. Several operas entirely new In Omaha will be presented , and every effort will be made to make the season popular In every benso of the word. Mr. Taber will give his twenty-seventh oigan recital Sunday afternoon at 3:30 : at the First Congregational church , and a very attractive program is In store for all who avail themselves of the opportunity to hear It , Among the numbers Is n selection of nirs from Gounod's opera , "Philemon and Baucis , " ndapted to the organ by Mr. Taber.

Several box parties have nlieady been arranged for nnd even at this early date enough tickets have been sold to guarantee a full house. The Omaha Mandolin orchestra , with fifty-two members , led by Mr. H. P. Stitorlus and the Imperial Banjo and Guitar club , with twenty-four members , Mr. E. H. Cummlngs , dliector , will make Its first public appearance at this concert. Mr. London G. Chnrlton has Just pub lished his very clover song , "September , " with words by Eleanor P. Landis.
