“Lmnecia di ‘Lammermoor,” the {
mglodic masterpiece of Donizetti,
was performed at the Auditorium
vesterday afternoon.
If the composer of that work
could but have left the church in
which, they say, his ashes are en
shrined at Bergamo, he might
have liked to know that, after a
whole century, he was popular in
Atlanta.
Four thousand lovers of pure
music, of the florid kind, were
present. When the chief artists
in the cast came to the end of the
unwearying Sextet. the audience
clapped and cat-called till the
- wonderful number was
sung nzaip.'
The “Mad Scene” gave the sig
nal for more transports. But the .
Lucia of the hour was not com
pelled to recommence that amaz
ine episode.

which had bLeen voted poor and
tackneyed became pearls of price.
In Mme. Maria Barrientos, the
Spanish soprano who imperson
ated Lucia for us at the Audito
rium vesterday afternoon, At
lanta heard for the first time—l
believe with joy—a worthy suce
cessor to the great singers | have
named. /
She s not an artist of an ag
gressive type. She is very deu-'
cate. Some singers try th take
our ears by storm Mine. Bar
rientos, on the other hand, ap
peals and woos. The graces of
her art, her charm and taste, are
what one begins by lking and
soon ends by loving In the new
Lacia. Her volee is, small and
light, yet warm ,‘ml sweet.
Though very tenuous, it is always
true. Mme. Parrientos has it well
under control Not for & moment
do we feel alarmed as to what
will happen to it. Not for a mo
ment do we tremble lest, in the
middle of some uitra<florid pas
sage, it should prove wanting.
To some extent it may be a
“made volea” That It Is beauti.
fully young and rare in quality
our ears aseme ux. The voice it
self is strangely virginal, Yet
Mme. Rarrientos is no debutante,
though, till this seasqn. New York
had not heard her. For fifteen
years and more she has been a
favorite in Europe and in South
Ameriea. ‘
Morgover (and | am sure this is
not fanciful), there is something
{n the volee—and in the art, or I,
vou will, in the personality—of
the Spanish soprano which will
ungusstionably steal into the
hearts of all Atlanta operagoers.
That something is peculiarly fem.

The success which Mme, Bar
rientos seoared in Atlanta vester.
day afternoon was fully earned.
1t began when, in the earlier
scenes with Edgarde, it was
found that though she had not a
“great” voice, the new Luela
could produce bewitching tones,
of exquisße Tenderness. m
were meliow tones, despite their
want of \‘OIMM'J” 'm were
heatifelly “colorsd © There were
eloquent tones, which suggested
many moods. ’(bo} seemed most
suited to the expression of pathos.
In the Sextet, perhaps, the
lightness of the Lucia’s soprano
was a I:andlcap.' But what was
lacking in power was redeemed
by art. And, though the Edgar
do, Mr. Mardnelli, at fArst sang
flat, the m&mbor, as has already
been recorded, arcused enthusi
asm.
The crowning triumnh of Mme.
Barrientos came with the “Mad
Scene” in whih the finished
style. the technical surety, the
pereonal graces and appealing
tones of the haraine proved irre
sistible. ir. the staccato passages
the singer's voice seemed free and
musical. The absclute ease with
whieh Mme. Barrientos rippled
through the florid eplsodes in that
“Mad Scene” added greatly to the
pleasure of the audience.. And
twice at lsast the singer chagmed
the musical b# her command of
what is known as messa 4i voce
the art of swelling and warming
tones. '

Mr. Martinelll, as Edgardo,
shared the success of the Lucla.

Sextet, he was impecachle,
His singing was throughout de

of really giving the full measure
of hix art in the character of Lord
Henry Ashton. He proved, how

voice. which had been beautifully

THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN
A new Aida will be heard by At
lantans Thuorsday afternoon in the
person of Mme Frances Alda, the
fine soprano who has sung so weli
in several Atianta appearances, Those
who remember her Desdemona (onhe
of her famous roles), her Roxane in
Damrosch’s “Cyramh,” and especially
her MicaeM in last season's “Carmen,”
are anticipating the matinee with
more ‘than ordinary jnterest, - |
Mme. Alda was one of the sensa
tional figures in Atlanta opera last
year, though she was cast in a part
in which a more temperamental and
self-conscious star soprano would
have refused, for Micaela is asecond
ary role in the Bizet opera, the Car
men having most of the spotlight.
But the role has two arlas of not.
able beauty, especially the famous “1
Am Not Faint Hearted” in the, smug
glers’ camp scene, and when Alda
sang this the audience gave her an
ovation ‘which had not been surpassed
even by the applause given Ceral
dine Farrar, the Carmen. There vun}

tifely few big opportunities, lest other
stars should rise up and declare’ that

most seats, who told me they heard
every note with ease,
When the aria was ended, with that
wonderfully sustained note as its cli
max, Mme. Barrientos' hearers paid
her the sincere compliment of wah-'
ing until the last sound had dled'
away. Then there was such a storm i
of appiause as the Auditorium walla‘
had not echoed in many a month. The
prima donna smiled delightfully and
bowed again and again. Then Ba
vagnoli, who was conducting, like the
artist he is, with every care for tha‘
singer, swept his orchestra into the:
even more admirable aria, “Swift as
‘Thought.” Here Barirentgs had even‘
more opportunity for those "blrdi
'notes” which have magde her famous.|
Then Martinelli, the Edgar, entered,
‘and they sang their series of fine
‘duets. When the act ended, the pair
‘won» called before the curtain again

Audience Goes Mad.
The decond act, opening with the
wedding scene, was splendidly ‘sung.
Then the “great moment” for devotees
of “Lucia” arrived, the famous Sex
tet. It was sung by Martinelli, de
.Lm-a. Barrientos, Rothier, Bada and
Audisio.” When it closed, the audi
ence went mad. In vaii the Kdgar
and the Enrico drew their swords and
began the action of the next scene.
Rothier signaled that Barirentos,
whose face was pillowed on the
ba: o's chest, declined to sing again.
But the audience would not -be denied.
It “broke up the show” %ntil at last
Barrientos nodded and Bavagnoli
again took up the familiar notes
which mark the opening of the Sex
tet. It was sung once more and then
the matinee crowd was satisfied to let
the opera go on. ‘
l The third act, though opening with
A 4 basso alr splendidly sung by Ro
thier and a chorus of exceptional
beauty, practically is all Barrientos.
It is here that Lucia, having slain her
busband, appears In delirium and
sings the famous “Mad Scene.”
Such marvelous. scintillating runs
as Barrientos sang! She swept easily,
without apparent offort, into cadenza
which soared into the clouds and
down to earth again. The orchestra
was silent as she showered her vocal
pearis. There were no words here,
for not even the liquid Italian could
be sung to such roulades as these.
The diva sang as a mocking bird, rip
pling, staccato notes, free as air.
Toward the close, where she reached

published the following : J
ATLANTA, GA., April 25.-—Xt
lanta is in the midst of its sev
enth season of grand opera, with '
the Metropolitan Company and
recognized musicians from gvery
part of the South already ac
claiming it by far the most guc
cessful from an artistic point of
view, "
The largest throng that éver at
tended an operatic pertorman\ce in
the South saw the premiere Mon
day night,. when Saint-Saens’
“Samson et Dalila” was presented,
with Messrs. Caruso, Amato and
Rothier and Mme. Ober,
It was the famous German con
tralto’s first attempt to sing the
~ part of Dalila since she joined the
Metropolitan Company, and her
I debut in the'role was little short
| of a triumph. After her great aria
I and duet with Caruso in the sec
. ond act, she was asked to respond
to no less than a dozen curtain
calls.
The great tenor, too, was in
splendid voice and was given an
ovation. Amato, as always, sang '
l in faultless fashion
. Barrientos Makes Debut.
l Mme. Barrientos made her At
lanta debut today at matinee in
i “Lucia,” substituted at the last
I moment for “Butterfly” on ac
count of the' illngss of Geraldine
Furrar. The audience was hard-
Iy smaller than on the opening
night, and was decidedly more
Jfemonstrative. The brilliant cols
oratura of the Spanish prima don
na swept the throng.. The old
Donizetti score has been heard
here time and time again, the last
time withy Frieda Hempel in the
soprano role. Despite this! Mme.
Barrientos suffered nothing, and
was hailed as the greatest of col
oraturas. She sings again tomor
row night in “LA Sonnambula,”
the old Bellini favorite,
| Thursday matinee Magtinelli,
Alda, Ober and Amato will appear
in “Aida;"” ¥riday evening Ca
ruso and Barrientos in “Martha ;"
Saturday” matinee Sembach, Go

and Alda in “La Boheme."

mark the last act.

the extreme. It is brimming with

! make her debut as Lisa, who is
