".Il Trovatore."—Tho Opera served to in- j troduco a new artist (Mr "It. Guinor), iwho j sustained tho important role of Count di Luna. ? Wo heartily congratulate him on his success. ,; Gifted with a high and pure baritone voice and El excellent stage presence and figure, ho haß tho ■ means to a successful professional career. ThO;f| impersonation of tho unusually heavy part 01-*s Count di Luna well deserved the manifestations ■ of pleasure il evoked. The concerted pieces of.;;* the Opera in which the vrima donna, tenor, and H himself topk part were faultlessly rendered, and VJ not in any degree mutilated by him. His ■ ,'■ success in this part is the best guarantee MftJj Gainor could have of achieving success in ■ i other characters, for a heavier baritone part wo i| do not know.—" Hobart Mercury." Lucia di Lammbrmoor.—Mr Gainor, as Sir ■:$ Henry Ashton, sang his opening number, "Regal! E'en to Frantic Madness," magnificently. lu'| his duct with Miss Montague both artists Bang ':% with great effect.—" Melbourne Aro." Opera House, Sydney.—Mr Gainor played Danny Mann capitally, and song tho music of i his part well, moro particularly in the duet. ;: " The Moon has Raised." Ho and Mr Turner. g in this number won tho most enthusiastic evi-jj dence of success. It is worthy of remark thatjs tho purity and range of Mr Gainor's voico was | unmistakably manifested by his rendering; of:;; : "Tho Colleen Bawn," rot one of tho extraordin- | ary high notes of which thi3 grand song is com- M posed being in any way evaded, but were taken I by the singer apparently with the greatest easo m —•'Sydney Daily Telegraph." . MiGNON.-Mr Gainor acquitted himself very I well in tho monotonous and rather OiaEklOßSj nart of Lothario. His oponingspng wu^capit- Ji allrsiine and he sustained the character. wit!i 3 admirable thoroughness.—" Ballarat Courier.' ° Mr K. Gainor's magnificent voice was heard to ■",?] irreat advantage as Danny Mann.—"Sydney 1 Evening News." Mr Gainor possesses a hand- *| some presence and a powerful, rich, and highly -1 cultivated voico. —"Adelaide Lantern." Mr ;J Chas. Turner was well supported by Mr It. J] Warwick Gainor as Danny Mann. Tho latter m was especially ploasing in tho oong describing *.M his inomorics of "TheColleon Bawn," and hia 4] resolution to carry out his dark deed. Mr " ai nor completely brought down the house, but j lis exertions in it were too much to comply jj with tho repeated demands for an encore.— "Mailland Mercury." >. Hospital Concert.—Mr R. Warwick Gainor I was the recluse, and it is needless to say he lent giant aid to tho success of the piece, and in ced, of the evening. Mr Gainor has been en joying a rest for aome months in Tamworth,*,j and hiß A'olce has considerably improved there by. We doubt it ho ever sang better than ho ', did on Wednesday niprht—mote to the satisifne tionof his audience or of himself either. Ho was trul/ in grand voico, and in the aria in tho second part from "UnBallo" ho fairly eclipsed r himself.—" Tamworth News." QUEEN'S THEAT RE, J TUAM-STREET, CHRTSTCIIUPCII, ' T 0 ,;.L E T .
