GOOD PERFORMANCE OF MASSENET'S OPERA Singers Not All in Good Voice, But Effect Is Excellent Although one of the principal things In n good performance of oper.v Is to have th singers at theli biat vocally, that ilii.illllcatlon Is not essential. So much was proved last night, when the Metro politan Opun Compnny presented '"Mil lion" with two of the three principals singing htisltv, cloudy tones The great fact Is that thn peiform.ince wns a beautiful success, It wim charmingly exe cuted, acted well, sung with more enthu siasm than qlce, but altogether pleas ing Perhaps the explanation of this singular occuncnce Is that Massenet has left much scope lor the slnglng-actors to take part with him In the restoration of n romantic period, the early ISth century In Prance. Tho glnmotlf of that tlnio Is about tho only thing which tho Piench Revolution failed to tarnish. It remains, and III tho music of Massenet, dainty and delicate and full of distinction, tho age lives again. Scottl and Ilothltr and Mme. Alda entered moio deeply Into that hplrlt than j their fellow-workers, but all settled Into a lino plclure In voice, Mino Aldi alone was up to her own best mark. Her voice Is of the MIcaela typo, but within that limitation it is excellent. In the oiprossloit ot all light things, she Is without fuult tier olco wan clear nml was unlfoimly good, ho that no particular note or register undo ono suspect tho lasting quality of tho rest. Iloth Messrs. Caruso and Scottl had trouble with their voices. Mr. Scottl has long been In the habit of declnimlng. n method peculiarly adapted to tho French stylo of opera as Massenet Knew it, His tlec'nmntion was vivid and cxpiesslve, but uol always pleasant to the ear. Mr. Caiuso, on the other hand, was simply in hid volcs. and In tho eailv scenes made little olfort to .sing He shouted In n, tetiifviu4l loud voice, and at moments almost persuaded his audit nee that It was the best ho could do. Finally ho began to sing, held a few high notes and shook his frame oi waved his hand to m phaslzo his "stunt." roitutiately his olco didn't de.srrt him In thoso moment. The rest of tho company was excellent nml tho production, the leading of Mr. Polucco and the playing of the orchestra were simply component parts ol a very pleasant evening The announcement that Mario Itappold and "Lohengrin" wore to be heai d together next week Intensified tho pleasure of the audltois either by an ticlpvtlon or by th operation of a carpo diem philosophy which Is common to Philadelphia, operagoers G V.
