MEPHISTO A Sixteen Hundred Dollar House Opens the Opera Season Tacliapietra and EmmaJ Behind the Scenes There was everything suggestive of hoot ton about the theatre last evening Innumerable In-numerable carriage lamps flashed as the vehicles dashed up and deposited their fair loads of loveliness the lobby had the scent of a flower garden as the ladies arranged their wraps and put a last touch or turn to their heaidress before entering the house spade tails flew this way and that Books of the opera was the stentorian cry that rose above everything and even drowned Mr Lock who was trying to make an announcement from the stage that Mr Turners name had been printed on the bills idstead of Mr Wedmonts innumerable in-numerable agents secretaries royalty or salary collectors hung about the box office suggestive of the probability that each principal had some vital interest in the receipts everywhere it was evident that the attraction going forward was nothing of the ordinary dollar or dollar and a half calibre It turned out so The great audience which counted up 1000 when they all got insaw a beau ideal opera performed and one whose Marguerite and Mephisto at least will live with them as long as the memory of Faust To the most of the auditors Emma Juch was only known by repute from her connection with the National Na-tional and American opera companies of which notable but illstarred ventures she was one of the prominent lights But from henceforth she will be known and remem bered solely as Emma Juch the great prima donna regardless of what and by whom she is surrounded It is rarely that one so young attains such a height in the musical world as Miss Juch has done and only the most decided talents could have placed her at her ageshe can not be more than twentyfive where she stands to day in that exclusive role of honor occupied by Patti Albani and a strikingly other singers Her voice is a full clear flutelike soprano so-prano rich and mellow to the last degree and from the highest to the lowest note in its range even tender and true It is a voice full of tearsa voice that reaches after the heartstrings and fetches them every time to use a westarnism Her acting act-ing toe is of the most natural andjeff ective school and throughout the trying part of Marguerite she acquitted herself with grace and power Another of her attributes attri-butes is that of personal beauty rarely does such a voice accompany such a face and nature surely withheld nothing when she designed her for an artiste Miss Juch was recalled after nearly every curtain cur-tain and at the close the audience remained re-mained to bring her out amid a solo of plaudits and cheers No encores was the rule or her exquisite rendering of the King of Thule and the Jewel song might have been going on yet I Tha second feature of the fine presentation presenta-tion was the Mephisto of the excellent basso Franz Vetta who sang and acted in a style that won the audience from the start No one since the day of Conly and Peakes has so aptly rendered the musical and dramatic parts of this character It was superb in all respects Our old friend Tagliapietra had a warm welcome and his big voice tilled the theatre thea-tre as of old The beautiful song Even Bravest Hearts always introduced in Faust had to be omitted because the orchestra or-chestra had not the parts but what music he did have he made the most of and his acting in the death scene Va of the best The tenor Hedmont was not up to the < standard of the other principals he sang well at times and in less notable surroundings surround-ings would be classed a good singer But Miss Juch and Vetta dwarf him and his Salve Dimoroh was not so well done as little Michelena did it with Emma Abbott Miss Macaichal was a very charming Siebel who promises great things in the future and Miss Leouhardt made of Mar thas small bit more than it ever yielded here before The wellknown Neuendorf presided over a big chorus and orchestra and though both were good the orchestra was the better the soldiers chorus was not all it should have been The stage settings were fine and a special feature was the electric lighting in the flower bed a connection con-nection having been made with the streetcar street-car wires for the special purpose A word to late comers People who came out early last evening to hear the overture had their enjoyment ruined by the noise the tardy arrivals made The curtain goes up atS sharp Tonight for the first time in Salt Lake Von Webers Der Freis chutz with the following cast Prince Ottokar T S Gense Cuno E K Knight Rudolph Charles Hedmondt Caspar Franz Vetta Killian M Connell Zamiel Frank Pieri A Hermit Thomas Bott Agnes Emma Juch Annie SUMO Leonhardt The famous scene and prayer How Tranquilly I Slumber which occurs in the second act is one of the most pronounced features of the opera Miss Juchs rendition rendi-tion of this celebrated number is said tobe a brilliant effort and her impersonation of the role of Agnes is considered one of I her finest impersonatons EMMA AND TAG A HERALD representative was ushered behind the scenes last evening and warmly greeted by Tag who never forgets anyone any-one he knew in Salt Lake nor the warm friends he made here He has increased in weight as in voice and tips the beam at 199 pounds Since he was here with Abbott Ab-bott he has been two and a half years in Caracas Venezuela where under the government gov-ernment patronage he gave opera with 105 people Returning to New York he went out with Gilmores band for thirty weeks and latterly he has been with Morrisseys Opera company which went to pieces and left the manager in his debt a neat sum Tag regretted the omission of Even Bravest Hearts last evening but expects to revel in the part of the Toreador tomorrow to-morrow night Emma as Tag and the others familiarly fami-liarly call her is as pretty and plump and peachy a spectacle close at hand as if she were made up for the part of Little Buttercup Butter-cup She is altogether jolly tooand turned from conversing with our reporter with a pretty yell of Jerusalem when she was told if she stepped on the electric wires she would get a shock She is delighted to be off the cars and never wants to attempt at-tempt a three days jump from Pittsburgto Salt Lake again There is some talk of arranging an informal in-formal recital at the tabernacle for Miss Juch during the engagement |
