Conductor, Arthur nodnnsky.
Klotow's opera ".Martha. - which was
given bv the Metropolitan Opera Co
at the Metropolitan last evening. Is
probably ns rich In melodies for the
tenor voice as any work ever composed.
and this fact, together with the further
one that Mr. Caruso Ik still nvallnhle,
doubtless had some weight In the choice
of n work for one of Mr. Caruso's guar
anteed nppearnnccH in Philadelphia.
Outside 0 this, there Is little reason for
giving It. "Martha" In as rich In kpii
tlmental nnil seml-sentimentnl melodies
as any opera ill existence, but Us utter
lack of dramatic expression and feeling
makes It sound flat in many placed.
As was to be expected from the char
acter of the music the opera resolved
lUelf early Into a "CnriiNo night." which
grew In Intensity, until in the first
scene of the third net, there was an ex
hibition of enthusiasm wJihli soon
passed Into absolutn discourtesy toward
Miss Uarrlcnlon. Mr. Caruso had Just
finished the (.ria, or rather the song,
"Dal respite treinnnte," which he had
ming with great pathos and generally
tremendous effect and the niidlenec liter
ally "went wild." Mr. Caruso appeared
about n dozen times nnd acknowledged
tliu applause in his characteristic man
ncr, mid then Mr. Hodausky attempted
to go on with the opern, as Philadel
phia audiences Mioitld know by this
I line, that Mr. Caruso will not repeat
n number, although he joined Miss iJar
rlentos In n repetition of "The Last
Hose of Hummer" earlier In the opera.
Miss Ilarrlentos nnd Mr. Malotesta.
came, upon the stage and for four or five'
minutes there was pnndemonium. The
orchestra could be heard nnd Miss Hnr
rlentos could be seen to be singing, but
no sound was audible and it was appar
ent that the sound of the orchestra was
not audible to the singers. Fortunately,
the score called for the reappearance of
Mr. Caruso on the stage at this point
and the "shouting nnd the tumult died."
It wnu ns nasty an exhibition of bad
manners on the part of an audience ns
has been seen in Philadelphia in yearn,
Outside of this, the Innocuous little
opera passed off smoothly, Mr. Caruso
was In decidedly poor voice at the
start, hut his magic name and his de
lightfully unlnu stage personality cat
rled him through the first act and part
of the second. In the third act his
voice had lccovercd from whatever h'l'd
affected It, nnd It had the remarkable
freshness nnd sweetness which It gen
erally hnf.
Miss Uarrlcntos made a charming
Martha in ' nppcarancc, and her
fragile voice was excellent In her solo
Work, but had scarcely enough volume
In the ensembles with voices of the
strength of those of Caruso, Perlnl and
Didur. She scored a great success with
"The Last Rose of Bummer" and was
obliged to repeat It, although It was
by no means the finest piece of singing
she did during the opera. .Miss Perlnl
was attractive ns Nancy, both to the
ear nnd the eye, nnd Mr. Didur made
an excellent Plunkett. His nrla,
"Che ml dlra," nt the opening of the
third net, was his best piece of work
vocally, and the part gave little oppor
tunlty for the very great dramatic tal
ents which he possesses.
Mr. Malatcstn made what was pos
sible of the thankless part of Sir TrlsV
ton, a part which seemingly should be
humorous, but which cannot be made
so even by Mr. Malatcsta, who has
few superiors in comedy pnrts. The
minor parts of the sheriff, the servant
ond the three maids were well done.
Mr. IJodansky conducted and there
seemed to be considerable uncertainty
at. to the tempi In many places be
tween himself and the members of tho
cast.
