...gentlemen of the troupe we cannot speak with such unqualified praise. Herr Hablemann is a fair actor, and has many good tones in his voice, when he happens to hit them; but his old weakness for singing false has become chronic, and sometimes exhibits itself in a most exasperating manner: witness, the sextette in "Lucia," on Monday night.

Each betrays his character in the manner of presenting himself to Christ's attention. But when you examine this figure which commands the whole assemblage, you are disappointed. M. Blanc declares that the Christ has the serenity of a God. He says: "Be not surprised if the Son of God is more beautiful than those who surround him; for though issued from the people, he is still of David's race...
