METROPOLITAN OPERA HOUSE

At the Metropolitan Opera House last evening Rossini's "Stabat Mater" was sung and followed by a miscellaneous concert. The entire performance was of a mild nature. In the first place Signor Campanini's illness continued and his place had to be taken by Signor Stagi, an artist who is hardly fitted yet for the performance of music suited to the capabilities of leading tenors. Added to his lack of experience was an evident want of familiarity with the score. Mme. Trebelli was neither in voice nor spirits and sang in a very listless manner. Moreover, she was not at all times correct in intonation, and her entire work was deficient in force and color. She omitted the "Fac ut portem." Mme. Fursch-Madi, who is a conscientious artist, sang with care and judgment though not with so much brilliancy as might have been shown had she done less work within the past few days. Signor Novara sang his "Pro pecatis" in a forcible and expressive manner, but was even more effective in the "Eia mater," The chorus was by no means steady and the orchestra was unpardonably noisy. The miscellaneous concert which followed the "Stabat Mater" was not particularly attractive, though M. Capoul's acting of the "Ave Maria Stella" of Proch was much applauded. The other numbers on the programme were a concert prelude and fugue by Otto Floersheim for the orchestra, a violin solo by a member of the band, and "O Salutaria" from Rossini's "Messe Solenelle," sung by Mme. Lablache, an aria by Mlle. Ida Corani, and a chorus from the "Messe Solennelle."
