with hopeless loves. Jealousies and

One of the dramatic moments of
the opera is at the finale of the third
act wherv the blind mother of La
Gioconda proclaims her belief that
the devilish plots of Barnaba are re
sponsible for all the attempts at mur

movement is marked.
Another moment tense with dra

opera when La Gioconda is hotly
pursued by Barnaba for the fulfill
ment of her compact to give herself to
him of he will save Knzo. Knzo and
Laura escape and Barnaba appears
to claim Gioconda. She says she
will be his, but that she must have

“Cyrano” Fails to °iease.
While it would t>e unfair to render
judgment upon a new opera after
hearing it but once, it must be said
to-uay tiiat Damrosch's new work,
"Uyrano." failed to please the audi
ence last night. There were numer
ous expressions of disapproval heard
in the foyer between the acts, and
the most sincere criticism of all—‘the
sight of dozens leaving when the
third act had closed—proved that the
attention of the listeners was not
being held.
Amato, Martin, Alda and their
associates did tho best they could to
make their numbers beautiful, and
Conductoi Hertz, who came down es
pecially to lead "Cyrano,” drew from
his orchestra every bit of beauty the
score made possible. But the opera
is void of melody; lacking in individ
ual numbers which would stand out
as gems; too largely made up of
recitative and dull intervals. Its set
tings were magnificent, its orchestral
music sometimes tremendous-Wag
nerian. But with all that, it was dull
to most of those who heard it.
Amato, the Cyrano, rose to supreme
heights in his final scene and proved
himself a tragic actor as well as a
great oaritone. Mine. Alda was a
beautiful Roxane. and her clear,
silvery tones drew applause fre
quently. especially in the letter song
of the’third act Martin, in Jiis first
appearance of the season, had a
miserable role as Christian, and could
onlv make the best of it.
