A copyrighted cablegram from London says that Gilbert and Sullivan's new opera, "The Gondoliers, or the King of Barataria," was ' produced last nijht at the Savoy, and was a ' success from start to finish. It is a long time since these collaborators have brought out so good a piece of work. Certainly it Is the best since the Mikado, and may eten be entitled to rank with their first successes. The operetta was admirably Etaeed, and, though It was the 'first night, al most perfectly presented. Perhaps in no other of the Gilbert and Sullivan series are there so many good parts, all the leading members or the company being cast In the roles they conld handle best The honors of the evening were divided between Geraldine Glmar, Jessie Bond, the two Contadines. and Courtlce rounds and Butland Barrington, the Gondoliers, though .Frank Wvatt as the Duke of Plazalcro, and Sennv as t)on Alhambra del Bolero, the chief inquisitor, were entitled to almost equal con sideration. The plot has already been outlined in THE Dispatch. The music is very light and "catchy," and is certain to be in the streets 'before the piece is played a week. The libretto ' is' In Gilbert's best manner. One song describes a democratic Utopia thus: - Lord Chancellors were cheap as 6prata, . "" And Bishops in their shovel nati were plentiful as tabby cats. In point of fact too many ambassadors cropped up like hay. Prime Ministers and such as they Grew like asraragus In May. Ann Antes were three a penny. On every side field marshals gleamed. Small beer were lords lieutenant deemed; "With Admirals the ocean teemed All round his wide dominions. And part leaders you might meet In twos and threes in every street, JUalntalnine with no little beat. Their various opinions. A finished Gilbertian touch too is in the idea of the king's foster mother being compelled to wait IS minutes for the inquisitorin the torture chamber and supplied with the illustrated papers, in order that time may not hang too heavy. All the dialogue in fact Is as bright and sparkling as the music, and Gilbert and Sullivan have put the amusement loving world trader additional obligation. " Mrs. Patti-NicoUnl with ber new auburn -y 'lair and her husband has come over the sea and rone to Chicaco. where to-morrow evening she will help President Harrison inaugurate the big Auditorium and the next night help Henry E. Abbey to open his big Italian opera season. Tamagno, the great Italian tenor. Al banl and a host of others are to add their efforts in the latter opera troupe. -Should they come to Pittsburg it would take about a 10 scale of prices in our largest theater. The money would be forthcoming beyond a doubt, but ma .y would-be auditors would have to stay at home. When are we to have that music hall, big enough to admit the great music-loving public at reasonable prices and yet pay for the most elaboiate performanceT It is said that we will have to miss hearing one of Von Buelow's 20 American concerts next spring for lack of a suitable, large hall. Yet the managers should not at'.ach too much importance to Pittsburg's deficiency In this re spect. It Is amply made up in other respects i solar at least as the managers need care abont it. We have comparatively so few high-class musical attractions that when one docs come it can draw upon a larger fund than would otherwise be the case. There is plenty of money here, and the sturdy old town is in the course of an artistic awakening that, makes it very liberal toward a musical attraction with a big enough came. The experience of late years has shown beyond peradventure that such an attraction asaPattioraVon Buelow can fill any hall we have at any prices at all within reason. Sarasate and D' Albert can doubtless do the same thing, if they come, as is rumored Janu ary the 13th being named as the probable date. Nothing has been beard of their coming at Klebers .or by Mr. Gittings, where the news would be likely to come early. It is much to be hoped that the rumor will prove to be well founded. Eugene D' Albert may safely be termed the greatest musical genius now in the country, and Pablo de Sarasate is uot very far Denina mm. The Pennsylvania State Music Teachers'- As sociation is preparing for its first annual meet ing (at Philadelphia, December 26, 27 and 28) with an energy and enterprise that assure suc cess.

The Balmoral Choir, a body ot Scotch sing ers of International fame, has been engaged by the Waverly Society, of this city, for a concert at Old City Han on the third evening of next year..

Baire to his Pittsburg relatives betray a longing for his native land that may ere long bring him back again from England. This time it will probably mean the permanent location at some 1 Cis-AtlantlB city or PitUburg's sometime favorite basso proftmdo. Mr. Balfe made his first 'appearance in opera not long since and ".; scored a most gratifying aaccess. Sv jferA BRUiiAKT wind-up for the pretest season . is assured in the fact that the Mosart Club has executed a contract with Manager 0. A. Ellis, for the assistance of the Boston Symphony Orchestra at the two last concerts ot the club, on May 19 and 20. This means that the extra ordinary pledges for this season made by the Mozart Club to its associate members will be carried out in the most satisfactory manner. It is not too late for more associates to subscribe, and still get more for their 10 than heretofore. Little Otto Heoske, not being the first to arrive, has naturally made less of a sensation than did his forerunner, Josie Hoffmann, but the thonghtful critics are quite unanimous in rating bis plavlng as of higher musical value and as being just about as remarkable in point of technique as that of the mueh-feted Josl. A point in Otto's favor is that he does not try to conduct an orchestra or compose original tunes for newspaper publication. When he comes to swing around the circle, we will be glad to hear him here in.Pittsbnrg. Miss Agnes HTrsmraTOir, a contralto well remembered here, and who has made such an enormous success as Paul Jbnet in London, now has the bonor of having three distin guished men engaged in constructing a new operetta for her especial nse. Btsson is writing the libretto, and Planqnette tho. mnsic, and Burnand, the editor or Punch, Is putting Bls son's French into English. Miss Huntington has lust signed a new lease with the Prince ot Wales Theater at a salary said to be the high est ever paid in the annals ot comic opera in London. Bismaeck does not like music It is said that he has not attended the opera more than a dozen times in all bis life, and that since 1S65 he has been there only twice: in 1879 to the gala performance in honor to the golden wedding of Emneror William L. and in October, this year, on the occasion oi the visit of Alexander HL, Uzar or Russia, to Berlin. The Prince Chan cellor once said to the painter, Lenbacb, that be had neither ear nor inclination for music, and that he preferred the music made by an Italian organ-grinder, or by s peasant playing the accordeon to that of any opera in exist ence. Ex. According to a paragrapher in the Phila delphia Musical Journal, "Patti, the divine singer, receives the largest wages ever paid to an artist human or divine. She is paid 5,500 every night she sings in the Albert Hall in London. Even with this and the expenditure of $3,000 for each concert ber managers are able to show a profit of from S2,000 to $3,000 per night. Patti has earned by ber own exertions more money than any five women that ever lived on the face or this earth. Her receipts since she began singing in public, 25 years ago, cannot be much short or $3,000,000, and she has several years of profitable farewelling ahead of her." The Boston Quintet Club has been secured by Mr. J. H. Gittings for a chamber music re cital at the Pennsylvania Female College next Friday evening. The club comprises Messrs. John F. Rhodes and Paul Mende, violins; Adolph Burose, flute and viola: A. Becker, viola and 'cello, and Louis Blumenberg, 'cello. Tho assisting soprano this season is Miss Annie Carpenter. Since this club was organized by Mr. Blumenberg, the brilliant 'cello player, two or three years ago it bas attained a large measure of success through the country, quite dividing the suffrages once given to the Mendelssohn Quintet Club, of which it may be regarded as an offshoot. In looking over the announcements for the coming musical season abroad, nothing is more noteworthy than the manner in which Wagner is invading the opera houses of all European countries. Italy's leading opera house, the Scala, will open with "Die Meisterslnger." Spain will hear theNlbelung trilogy, and so will Copenhagen under the direction of Svend sen. At Brussels 'Tristan" and "Sieg fried" are to be produced in French, and Pesth is to have several of Wagner's later works in a Hungarian version. And In New York, of course, Wagner will be the chief at traction or the opera season, as usual. It is now time for Mr. Rowbotham or some other "crank." to come forward and repeat the an nual assertion that "Wagnertsm has had its Cay." Musical Courier. Mes. Schaabschhxot under hernewnams, Rosa Linde, seems to have added materially to ber already high reputation in the city of her former residence by the artistic appendix she added to the Levy programme. If she had no prior casus belli with Levy & Co., she would have one in the fact that since she left they have gone on with another contralto, but with the same circulars, lithographs, programmes, etc, representing to the public that it is Mme. Rosa Linde who is still assuming that part In one Ohio town the writer last week saw the windows adorned with the face that is so well known here, and heard music lovers discussing the merits of Rosa Linde's singing, which they supposed they bad been listening to in the Levy concert there on November 26. This is a rank deception of the public and an insult to two artistes that Jules Levy ought to be ashamed ot The Allegheny Musical Association will make Us first public appearance In a concert for the benefit ot the Allegheny General Hos pital, to be given in tho Fourth U. P. Church, Arch street and Montgomery avenue, on Tues day evening or this week. Mr. W. A. Lafferty will conduct; the chorus will number about 100 voices and the orchestra about 40 plavers, half of them amateurs that formerly belonged to the Zltterbart Orchestra, and have been got to gether for the occasion by Mr. Coblentz. The choral numbers will be Sir Julius Benedict's short cantata "Legend of St, Cecilia" (text by Henry F. Chorley) and 8ehubert's "Song of Miriam" for soprano solo and chorus. The soloists will be Mrs. It C. Webster, Mrs. F. W. Kiefer, Mr. Beveridge Webster, Mr. John Gernert and Mr. Charles F. Cooper.- Interest in the debut of the chorus so auspiciously or ganized a year or so ago combined with a charitable disposition toward the worthy bene ficiary should combine to make this occasion more than ordinarily successful.
