Paige,-una 5 PE C U L, A moonlight? What a shame!-That Wil- kins is quite content to be the bi toad in the little puddle? He says 'Till live and die a Pirate King, even though he can't settle his disputes with legal aid. -That Mardie Pratt is fairy queen and has nothing to do? Hold your heads with both hands, everybody, and watch your step! She might be industrious, not to say dangerous.-That the midshipmite, though small, can produce as much sound, for his size, as anyone we know. Needless V PARATUS ' 7 to say this excludes those fifth-form so- pranos who stand, when they aren't sit- ting, in the back row during practice- That Hope Thompson says some one in the back row of the sopranos consistently sings out of tune? Incidenltally that is Hope's own, exact location. I wonder? -That the crew is Scotch? At any rate the boys come from Galt and they seem very reluctant to say We'l1 buy when little Buttercup sings them such a sweet song. Oh, my! 'Nui said. fi Lucia Di Lammermoor-Qpem Music by Donizetti. Words by Cammarano. UCIA'S tenor solo, sextet, and its flute obligato gave the cognascenti some- thing deserving of their enthusiasm when it was played at Naples, London and New York. Although it is a chronicle of gloom, in the part of Lucia there is an irrestible vocal display and this helps the opera .to retain its place in the repertory. The action is supposed to take place in Scotland just at the close of the 17th century, but it has scant relation to place ACT I In the opening scene, we gather that there is an ancient feud between two noble families-that Enrico, who is in difiiculties, ascribes all his bad luck to Edgardo, whom he hates accordingly. In order to repair his fallen fortunes, Enrico has arranged to give his sister Lucia in marriage to the wealthy Arturo, before consulting her, and is furious on learning from his retainers, Normanno, and Rai- mondo, that she has already given her heart .to the hated Edgardo. Scene II shows us the moonlit garden, and the fountain where Lucia is waiting for her lover. Lucia relates in an elabor- ate solo on the harp how she had lately seen a spectral form appear beside the fountain, which 'had run with blood-an evil omen. Then Edgardo enters only to tell, her that they must pant at once-he leaves for France that night, in a long duet, they plight their solemn troth and ACT II The wicked Enrico forges letters from Edgardo to Lucia showing her that her lover has been fait'hless to his vows. En- rico works upon unhappy Lucia's heart until she consents to marry Arturo. Ar- turo arrives, the guests assemble, the marriage contract is produced and Lucia or period. say farewell. 58 has just signed it when Edgardo makes a dramatic entry-too late.- All are paralysed for the moment. Ed- gardo! Oh thunderbolt! is Lucia's strange remark, and the great sextet Chi mi frena? begins. The music throws little light upon the situation, but from the words we gather that Lucia's stony despair admits not even the relief of tears, that Edgardo is torn between love and a desire for revenge, while Enrico is a prey to late remorse- Normanno, Raimondo and Alisa lLucia's confidantej serve merely to fill in the harmonies. Edgardo, realizing the hopelessness of his case, flings his engagement ring at Lucia's feet and demands his own in re- turn, then he requests to be butchered in order that Lucia may have the pleasure of trampling on his bloody corpse on her way to the altar with Arturo. ACT III Edgardo and Enrico arrange to fight a duel among the tombs of Edgardo's an- cestors. A jubilant chorus of retainers is interrupted by Raimondo who breaks the awful news Lucia's reason has given way and she has murdered Arturo in .their bridal chamber. Then comes Lucia's Mad Scene. She imagines the moonlight gar- den scene, and that she is married to Ed- gardo and fthe life that is henceforth a heaven on earth. But when Edgardo stands before her in fancy, she remembers what happened in reality, and when, still in fancy, Edgardo will not forgive her, she dies broken-hearted. ' Edgardo in reality comes to the tombs of his ancestors to fight the duel, but im- patient .to join his beloved, he puts an end to his own existence tFra paco-a me ricoveroh.
