' most Overlook Rat's Visit to the Parquet , , ' i 4' ('... ' . '' - '. . By Q. I. W. ; A delard train, derailed cars, musio that didn't , arrive., singers exhausted with worry and welting, and a hue rat running merrily op and down tbe par- : quet to the accompaniment of swishing skirt and suddenly lifted feet.' These were features of the flrat night of opera. But through It all a Urge audi- ' ence sat good-rmturedly and enjoyed the production of "La Glooonda" by an ex cellent corps of singers and ' players tormina; the San Carlo. opera company. -I am afraid that we of the audience are apt to give ourselves the moat pity; to lament the absence of orches tral accompaniment . In the flrst act caused by delayed music ; to complain of the cutting of almost tbe entire third act. But the company Buffered the . greater hardship and deserve muchj -credit for the manner in which they' rose above the situation. - There were some mistakes in pitch In the first act. due to the want of - the accustomed orchestral support, but they were ex- , cusable and far between, ' ; v Kara Uses fog Slageia. . , And as for criticism of the cutting, . with the suggestion that the audience after waiting so long would be willing e wait longer, la unjust to the singers. The human voice is a delicate mechan ism and must be used under favorable circumstances to bring out Its best. Those singers arrived only a few hours before the performance, some were din nerless, all were without rest: and most had been out . In the cold rain, up to their kneea In mud. for two hours striv ing to help the derailed car upon the . track. .Yet the hoarseness and exhaus tion were barely detectable. ,'Xa Glooonda" la a tragic opera, writ- , ten by 'Ponchlelli, one of the lesser lights of the Italian operatle school. - The plot is Interesting, though savoring of a number . of other ' better-known nperaa, and the musio shows still more plainly the traces of other masters. The melodlea ' are distinctly commonplace, and there Is nothing unexpected In the orchestration. It Is what Oelett Burgess would term "bromidle," because It Is what anyone else would hare written In tbe same place. Tet tbe Interest Is well preserved, and when the roles are sung by such artists as Nordica, Con stantlno, Fornart and others - of - last nights cent, the opera seems even great. The music la - the last act, where the Glooonda has her real work , both in acting and la singing, baa more solidity and works up to -a splendid climax. . Despite Missing Muste. It Is hard tq know of what to .speak first, the soloists, the chorus, or the orchestra. . All did their part so well. The orchestra under the Intelligent leadership of Slgnor Contl " was clear cut and satisfactory, even though the absence of the wind instrument in tbe first act when there were only, enough scores for the strings and Slgnor Contl led without baton or musio, gave a flat, colorless sound to the musio. Tba work of the chorus was excel lent. - They, sang along without any hesitation or faltering, no matter what the adverse clrcumsfances, for that la what they spend hours and days and week practicing for. The song of the sea done by th sailors and fishermen was delightful and showed some of th best work both of the chorus and the composer, though the climax reached In th palace seen la the third act. when Alvlse discloses th fact that h has brought his wife Laura to death, - waa one of th most Inspiring moments of the evening. . .

Her magnificent vole Is already known, but Portland had waited to learn that ah 1 a great emotional actress as well aa a superb singer. It Is not so much th volume of her voice that counts aa a certain brilliant qual ity that stands out in contrast when he sings with others whose voices are aa strong as hers, but not mo vibrant with life. Th role allowed her to dress in th rich, elaborate fashion that la so well suited to her majeatlo pres ence. And It was her acting that kept the work from dragging, that kept In terest sustained even to the last minute In spit of th yawns that would fore themselves out among th audience. There waa as much curiosity about Slgnor Constantino's tenor of which so much has been said aa about Madame Nordica, and the audleno sought its first opportunity to grant him an ova tion. His tenor is pure, rich and mel low .and handled with eas and intel ligence. He was handicapped by a cold last night but Its traces were barely noticeable. His love solo, "CJelo Mar" In th second act was thoroughly ar tistic. .....
