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.
