I ' " : 10 A THE OMAHA SUNDAY BEE: MARCH 80, 1919. ... r OVATION GIVEN A 1 OPERA SINGERS AS SEASON ENDS - San Carlo Company -Closes ! Engagement in' Omaha n With Two. Brilliant Performances. By HENRIETTA M. REES. i The San Carlo Grand Opera com pany completed its Umana engage ment Saturday with " two perform ances, ."Martha v in. the afternoon and "II 'Trovatore";" in' the evening . irhe Boyd theater was well filled for both performances and -great en ihusiasm was evoked. In "II Trovatore" especially the action was interrupted time and kgain by the spontaneous applause, and Doria Fernanda as Asucena re ceived veritible ovation. Miss Fer nanda appeared one . other , eve ning with the company as Suzuki in "Madame Butterfly," when the excellence of her voice was es pecially noted. But as Asucena, not only tne unusual quaiuy ana train ting' of her voice, but the intense Mramatic fervor, with whidh she elec trified the part, made her appearance on the stage of constant interest. Her interpretation pf "Stride la Vsmpa" was given with greatest - dramaticeffect, and in her duets with Manrico and in the trio, nd the last scene she was an important factor. VII Trovatore" by Vedri has re mained a continuous success for" over. SO years, and its story is too well known to demand comment Eatelle Wenworth Scores Hit There was again the "Miserere," the "Anvil Chorus," "Home to Our Mountains" and the numerous other favorite airs of the opera dear to all hearts. 1 Estelle Wentworth , as Leonora displayed her beautiful soprano voice twjth its ravishing, pianissimo and jgh tones, and her singing of the lia in the first act is a thing to be remembered. , " " jj Manuel Salazar, as Manrico, main tained his usual high artistic' stan dard, and "his many familiar arias charmed anew. Joseph Royer, as Count di Luna, Rodolfo Fornari, as Ferfando, and other members of the cast added a vital share to the suc cess of the production. -if The. final vocal quality of the teen's ,and women's chortTses was again manifested. Gaetano Merola h- a deservedly successful conductor. Vfpon. the whole it was the most jfioished production of "II Trova ijdre" which the San Carlo has ever given in Omaha. m ' "Martha" Another Triumph. ; Another triumph was added to the f.lt already gained by the San Carlo Grand Opera company at the Boyd theater Saturday .afternoon, with the production of "Martha" by Flo tow, before a well-filled house. Martha" has always been one of the most popular of tight operas and the entrancing melodiousness of the . music and the harming freshness , of the story gave the greatest of pleasure! , ,.'fThe' story deals with Lady Har . ikt, and her companion, Nancy, who jejr a lark hire out as servants at "the Servants Fair to a young squire ,ltad his brother, They afterward fan away but Plunkett and Nancy and Lionel and Lady Harriet find thatMhey have fallen in love. Lady Harriet refuses, to reoognize Lionel h$erward when he sees her in a httnting party, although through a ripg it is discovered he is a noble man. Finally the lady, 'remorseful, fixes a part of her park like the fair at Richmond, where they first met, the lovers are all reconciled and Everything ends happily. ji : 1 Audience Charmed. aueena Mario was adorable as Martha, her voice exquisite, and throughout she was a constant de light. So was Stella Demet,te, whose, vivacious and humordus Nancy was sung and acted admir ably. Both were likewise so charm ing in appearance that' the, audience a.9 well as their suitors fell in love with them. I Agostini and Antola were well Cast as the two young men and again - they proved their versatility and dramatic ability. Natale Cervi made the role of Sir Tristan a re markably clever and humorous char acterization. ' s. ; There is so much delightful music in' this sparkling opera that it is hard to remember any part which ' as more charming than any other. The is of course the "Last Rose of Summer," interpolated so beau tifully in Act II. In fact, the en tire second act might he mentioned as the especially fine part of the opera. In this occurs the humor ous spinning quartet and the beau tiful "Good Night" quartet. Queena Mario and Stella Demette sang Some delightful duets, Antola scored in the drinking song, and the chorus and orchestra as usuaj did their , share in the artistic presentation. ! 1234 Harry Lauder Will Make , V.
