' ; v .; The principal eveno? the Fabbrl op?ra season 'since the opening night, and the one which at- - tracted-the moot attention and the largest audi. ence, was the production of "Faust" on Monday Tenlng, with Miss Irr Wandesforde as Mar- ffwerlte. The youngs lady having appeared here several years since with Camilla Urso In concert, there wartiaturaHjrTeat curiosity to note" her proficiency In the more ambitious line of grand opera. The test, on the whole, was not entirely satisfactory. Hhe carefully dressed and thoroughly looked the part, and her ease and grace of manner - is more than pleasing when contrasted wlth-the-spasmodic contortions and awkward over-acting of the leading lady singers, of last week; but her i voice, though elear and pure In tone, Is lacking, In . volume, and the orchestra should not have been allowed to1 drown Its -sweetness, "lmhelast act, howeverj vAhe seemed to. have reserved all her Eowr for Hie-;gra!HlfcfTort, and fairly redeemed erself, though It was tiresome waiting through' ... our acts for the, climax. " Mr. Lafontalne sang in .. his usual guttural and rasping twang the Import ant part of Mephistophelean Mr. Muller appeared ; Valentin, and though having but little to do, x-j. would have-been sadly missed. Hugh Talbo was cast for; the iltle;,rolc. but was suffering from the. . severe .effects of. an. excess . of , beer. 1 mbi bed. the previous evening, and Big. Montegriflb sang the part, without previous apology or announcement by the management regarding the change, and numerous persons in the audience were under1 the impression that they were listening to Mr. Talbo. These unexpected changes seem to be characteris tic of this company and the manager, or managers. First, we were lo have English opera, and they gave us Italian instead; and since then we have Had a sort of mongrel mixture of English, German and Italian, while other little peculiarities similar to that of the change of. tenors have been notice able all through the season. The public Is always ..good-natured, even under such circumstances, for : a time; but 4 twill eventually lose confidence In the manager and tire of this uncertain policy, and will then at some unexpected time revenge Itself for his vacillating course by allowing him to play -to empty benches when he least expects It. And when confidence Is once lost, It Is seldom regained. A firreat Imnrovement was shown Monday even. log in general details; The chorus was much bet1 ter than last-Week, the conductor kept quiet ruotit of the time, and the prompter's voice was seldom heard, showing the effects of needed and careful' - rehea rsi n r. -fiFaust,Hs,as repeated tr Tuesday;- -"Martha" was given last evening, and very poorly. Need of rehearsal was. painfuUy appar ent. : There were numerous delays and Incessant . promptings. Miss AYandesforde rendered Lady Harriet' passably well, and Miss IVArona vainly Jtried to give Nancy life Ind snitit. Mr. Talbo, who sang Lionel,, has a passablygood tenor voice, ' of fair strength and volume.Xut Is not equal to "expectations. ' He aroused enthusiasm but once during the evening. The drinking song by Mr. Muller, at the beginning of the third act, was well given and heartily encored. Taken as a whole, the evening, was exceedingly tiresome, the. dull ness being only relieved by a laughable accident. In the thirjact, Mr. Mujler stumbled over the rootsjof a mammoth oak, upsetting the monarch of the forest, and fell flat of his back. - .
