SmI. understand the Shanghai JOpera Company are to repeat La Boheme" in the near future, This is welcome news indeed, and 1, for on will most assuredly be present again, The many who were unfortunate enough to miss the previous presentations of Puccini's lovely opera, are urged, to avail themselves of this opportunity to.hear one of the most successful musical treats that has fever been offered this city.
While 1 am on this subject, 1 would prevail upon the company to repeat two of their more successful pro-Suotions, "namely "Rigoletto," and "La Traviata." Both are well worth hearing again, and in the ease of the former I wotid advise the inclusion that lovely aria at the end of the third act, entitled "Odessa." This, moving number, sung by Rigoletto, sand by Gilda ai she lay dying, was unaccountably omitted in the previous performances, Meanwhile, 1 wait in bright pectancy for "Il 'Trovatore" and "Madame Butterfly," and to the JOpera Company. my' heartfelt thanks for so capably Alling a long-felt want in Shanghai.
