Signor Bergamaschi, as the deformed buffoon, is deservedly entitled to tho highest honours of the performance, bis interpretation and rendering of the part Gu being a consummate exhibition of histrio- tonic art. The actor's delineation of the hunchback's horror, when Monterone invokes the vengeance of heaven on his hoad, was exceedingly realistic, and he was equally powerful in his grief on discovering his daughter's abduction, and in his ferocious rage against the Duke when Gilda returns with the story of her wrongs. It would be unfair to euch an accomplished vocalist, as Signor Bergamaschi has times out of member proved himself to be, to harshly criticise bis singing on Saturday night as Rigo- lett, or to gnage his vocal qualifications for that particular part by bis then comparativa failure in vocal Tambers which should suit him so well. Signor Berganduschi was quito out of voice, and apparently so fatigued, that his failure to do himself justice conld hardly be a cause for wonder to those who re membered his extraordinary exertions during the past three weeks.

The character however is somewhat heavy for Bignord Vela, and she was hardly equal in several parts to its musical requirements.

The musical successes of the opera were undoubtedly the tenor aria-elrendy alluded to, the great air finals (Caro nome") and the famove quarter. The last named, one of the most harmonious masterpieces of music ever written, probably unsurpassed by anything from Verdi's facile pen, is remarkable for the skill which the composer has shown in blending together four different charac tars with four entirely different expres- sions. Sung by Signoras Vola and Co-. bianchi, and Signora Bergamaschi and Baganini, the quartet was undoubtedly one of the finest things of the presant operatic season, and the audience showed their appreciation of it, by demanding its repetition, to which the artistes.gra- ciously acceded. The compliment paid by the audience to the talented per- formers, was undoubtedly well meant, but it was hardly fair to insist on their repeating a trying and difficult piece of music, after such a fatigning evening's

work.

..

The orchestra was again conspicuous for its general efficiency, and too much praise cannot be awarded to Signor Véla for the taste, discretion and skill he invariably displays in conducting the most difficult passages.

Signar Bergamaschi takes a benefit this evening, when the ever-popular

Il Trovatore will be produced, with the sume cast as in the previous represento- tion. The popular baritone deserves a good house, and we trust he may get a Lumpor,
