THE TREBELLI CONCERT.

On Monday evening, May 4, 1895, Mdlle. TrebelU gaye a concert m the Oddfellows' Hall to a crowded audience Her voice had been heard for the first time 10 Ash burton, And the reception given her was the heartiest ever accorded to any visiting vocalist m that building. The audience did not fail to at once realise that they were listeniug to a fcrus artist, and were not at all reserved m the expression, not only of their admiration, but of the pleasure they were experiencing m listening to Mdlle. Trebelli's wonderful voice and fqually wonderful vocalisation. On that occasion the fair singer had the as sistance not only of Mr John Prouse, but of a tenor, and also some local talent. Last night she gwe another concert m the Odd fellows' Hall to an equally largo, and if such were possible, more appreciative audience. She was again assisted by Mr Prouse but her experience on her present tour through the colony has shown her that further assistance !b unnecessary ; and the two, with the assistance of a faultless accompanist m the person of Miss Florence Harding, essay the whole work of the evening. Mdile, Trebelli'B power to charm as a vocalist is ao great as ever. She broke ground without ceremony, or any instrumental fanfaronade, with a recitative and delightful aria from Verdi, which on being vociferously encored was followed by " Love was once a little boy " 1 most archly sung, and applauded to the echo. Two songs bracketed were the nexb ] number —Rubinstein and Dvorak—given by Mdlle, and the audience evidently realising that two songs m succession, and playing her own accompaniments (as she did m this jastßDpe), were sufficient for one appearance, and did not insist on an encoro. Another sweetly sung aria to close the first part of t^e programme was followed by " Within a mile o' Edinburgh toon,?' which, thoqgh the production of a Frenchman, ia generally accepted as a Bcofctish song. Mdlle, what ever her nationality, has succeeded m getting a, far better grip of the Scotch accent than most people do who are not to the manner born, and her f datum, oanna, wunna, wucma" tine was given m a way that pleased everybody, while the whole song waa eung with true feeling and sufficient naivete, A trying Bong of Bizafc was her opening number ia the second part. It gave her full opportunity for showing the wide range of her voice, Ibi admirable flexibility, and her perfect vooalisation, and needless to say her reappearance was inevitable. The first chorda on the piano told the audience what waa coming, and to show how welcome iras her encore item it wastreited beforehand to the mosb enthusiastic applause. When the : etorm had subsided she sang her song. It waa " Home, sweet home," and the rapt eilencb during its performance showed how deeply yet tenderly she was touching the hearts of her hearers, as the wild applause that followed showed how pleased they were to have been ao tenderly touched. Two bracketed songs of Gounod were her next number, which were encored, and the" dosing number was Oowen's "The swallows,"'* pleasing ballad oharmingly sung. |n response to the re-demand «fre gave the laughing song m French with wh'ch she so abundantly tickled her audience three years ago, and produced again the merriment which la her hands the song always causeß. Mr Prouse's fine baritone has suffered nothing during his absence, bub is, if anything, Bioher, fuller, and more telling than ever, *nd he is very Judicious m the seleotion of his BODgs; His ♦• Had a horse," a Hungarian folk song, wrb handled with jcmi the pathos necessary, and for an encore he gave " I cannot help loving thee." His second number was the song of the toreador from " Carmen, for hie excellent singing of which he was re called, and won golden opinions from all sorts of people with his spirited yet pathetic inter pretation of "The minstrel boy." In the second part he gave Sullivan's " Thou'rt passing hence," and had to repeat the last verse, and his other number m that part was Molloy's " To-morrow will be IMday," the humor of which so fetched hia hearers that he was re-called, and he gave " The deathless army." But this was nob enough, and m response to a second recal he gave the ever green " Mynheer von Dunk," ia just such a rollicking, rolling style as was to be expected from a baritone of Mr Prouße's power. Miss Florence Harding has mastered the difficult part of playing accompaniments. There are thousands of piano players, but the finished Rccompanist is not found every day, for the simple reason that self-repression is not a gift vouchsafed to everyone. Miss Harding never forgets that the piano is but an auxiliary to the voice, and her instrument was never h«ard obtrusivelyJftßsertlnj? itself and destroy ing as is so often done by many aecom tianistß, the effect of the vocaliaatiotS It Was a g«at tr^ato to listen to her playing, which m the delicately handled accompani merits was one of the pleasing features of a j^oifc brilliantly suoe.es.sful concert,
