Josephine Stanton American Opera Company

It is rarely Ashburton people have such a treat in the town aa that provided by the Josephine Stanton Company on Saturday evening in the production of Aubei's rom&Dtio opera, " Fra Di&volo;" The masis 18 of a bright character, and the situations are interesting and picturesque. Of the Eo'oiafa tre principal was Mibb Jtsephine Stanfcon, whose singing and acting deserved the higheßb praise. Her position, aa daughter of the Italian icakeepsr, brott«hb her in contact with all aorta and conditions cf men, and she sustained the various parts of the situation with manifest skill. She possesses a well trained, clear, soprano voice, and in_ her soloa evoked the admiration of the audienca throughout her performances, the Invocation to the Holy Virgin being most enjoyable* Mr Henry Hallam'e • Fra Diavolo,' was a capital interpretation, and hia sweet, mellow tenor voice, combined with natural, but careful acting, lent largely to the sncoess of' the opera. One of the gems of the evening was his'exqnisite rendering of hia serenade in the second act, which was deservedly encored. Mr Geo Kunkell as Lord AHcaßh made an excellent) type of the irascible globe trotting English Lord, and hia singing was forcible and effective, whilsb Mine Clara Wisdom has a nioa voice and acted her part as the BoffariDg wife, with credit. The choruses throughout were a feature of tho opera, being taken carefully and effectively. The comio elemonb was largely in the hands of Messrs Jean die Lacey as Beppo, andOhaß. Dyne as Giaoomo, and two more capable exponents would be hard to find. The former aßpeoidly excited the mib!e facul ties of the audience to an intense degree. Each member of the Company carried oub their several partß with niaaked succsbs, The conductor Mr A C Pell, deserves every credit for his successful supervision, and his doable position as pianist, and Mr Bocz as leader of the orchestra | was a hoeti in himself j
