Review in the Brooklyn Eagle

METROPOLITAN OPERA HOUSE

It was a great night at the Metropolitan Opera House last night. Little Huberman played the violin and aroused much enthusiasm from the big audience. He gave first the Bruch concerto and declined to gave an encore number, though he was called out half a dozen times. Later he played the Wieniawski fantasie on "Faust," and was obliged to add another selection to the programme. His playing had all the charm which marked it on his recent appearance in Brooklyn, and he held the great house captive with wonder and delight. Plançon sang two songs and was obliged to give an encore after each of them. The first was a rather wooden aria from an early opera of Verdi's and the second Gounod's "Nazareth." Each served to show the beautiful quality of his voice and his noble delivery. Mme. Mantelli sang an English ballad by Goring Thomas and an encore song beautifully. Miss Traubmann undertook "Ocean, Thou Mighty Monster," from "Oberon" and, although it is too large for her good voice, her earnest effort to give it the requisite breath and fire made an excellent effect. Mr. Seidl and his orchestra were encored for the playing of their arrangement of the "Komenoi Ostrow," and much applauded for some beautiful selections from "Hansel und Gretel."
