MUSIC IN BERLIN.

(From our own Correspondent.)

[ocr errors]

Germany, when performed in German by German artists. The reason of this, it strikes me, is simple. Neither the language nor the singers of Fatherland are adapted to this class of works. How the dialogue of a French comic opera is cut and compressed in a German version! Yet how light and brilliant it appears when spoken, and, what is more important, played, by a French company. The same is true of the music, although frequently sung by persons possessing voices that have scarcely a trace of music in them, for I suppose no one-except a Frenchman, of course — will deny that Gallic larynxes, as a rule, do not emit the most mellifluous sounds. But, if we do not meet with vocal excellence, properly so called, among the countrymen of Auber and Halévy, we have esprit, intelligence, piquancy and delicacy, which render these performances indescribably charming. While on this

subject, I may enquire why, for instance, La Fille du Régiment, which was never an extraordinary favourite in France, should have been so fabulously successful in Germany. The reason of this is to me as clear as day. Although written for the Opéra Comique, the story is considered by the French as too simple and destitute of plot for a comic opera, and the music, despite all the melodies it contains, too trivial and non-effective. This very fact has been the secret of its popularity in Germany. Light and singable, the work could be enjoyed, even when interpreted by only mediocre vocalists, and worse than mediocre actors. But to return to our sheep, which, in this (Vocal) instance, are the members of the French company at the Victoria Theatre. They have produced a most favourable impression in Les Mousquetaires de la Reine, and filled the theatre, when the other in-door places of amusement have been almost deserted for Garten-concerte, and Cafés-chantants. Mad. de Jolly, despite her nervousness, has gained the good graces of the staid Berliners, who regard her as a charming artist. The first tenor is M. Coeuille, for whom M. Gounod composed the part of the hero in his opera of Faust, at the Théatre Lyrique. Mlle. Dessalle is an admirable soubrette, full of vivacity and archness, and M. Driane a painstaking barytone. The orchestra does great credit to its conductor, whose name I have forgotten.

We have had some good broiling days lately, and the heat is beginning to tell very considerably on the attendance at the theatres, and other places of indoor amusement. Not only, however, does it affect the public, but, apparently, the artists as well. For instance, at the last representation of Tannhäuser, at the Royal Opera House, singers, chorus, and instrumentalists seemed to vie with each other in the production of the most frightful dissonances. I never heard a more flat and lamentable performance. It is never a very gratifying thing for me to listen to this emanation [from the brain of the champion of the "Future," but the other evening I found it an almost impossible task, and, had it not been for judicious refreshment, in a liquid form, taken between the acts in the buffet, I do not think I should have been enabled to stop until the fall of the curtain. The only persons who acquitted themselves at all respectably were Mlle. Mik and Herr Robinson. The lady, who is from the Stadttheater, Prague, made her début here as Elizabeth, but I do not think the selection a very wise one. She is deficient in feeling, especially in tenderness. Her voice is a mezzo soprano, forced up into a soprano. The consequence of this is that any beauty the voice may have originally possessed is totally destroyed. The high notes are strong but disagreeable, while the lower ones have a harsh, guttural sound, anything but soothing. The general audience sat out the lady's performance with chilling apathy, and only a few faint tokens of approbation were heard from one or two of the boxes. Herr Robinson was much more satisfactory as Wolfram. The soft quality of his voice, and the ease with which he sings the highest notes, render the part especially suited to him. He was invariably pleasing and natural-as natural, at least, as he could be, considering whose music he had to sing; but he is rather too prone to exaggeration. This is a fault he must strive to remedy. I have been informed that he is definitively engaged as a permanent member of the company, to which he will, I am inclined to believe, prove a real acquisition. Herr Farenczy re-appeared, after a lapse of several weeks, as Tannhäuser. I have already recorded my opinion of this gentleman, and I cannot say that he pleases me more upon a longer acquaintance. He is heavy and cold, without the slightest spark of poetry in his whole composition. Herr Dorn officiated as conductor, and did his best to introduce a little concord between the members of the orchestra and the artists on the stage; having a due regard to the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, I must frankly state, however, that his efforts were not crowned with triumphant success.

Mlle. Mik subsequently appeared as Fides, in Le Prophète. She was better than as Elizabeth, it is true, though her rendering of the part was still not first-rate. She may be a favourite at Prague, but she would scarcely ever become so here, and, therefore, the best thing she could do would, in my humble opinion, be to leave the banks of the Spree and return to those of the Danube, "rolling rapidly."

There is a French operatic company now playing at the Victoria Theatre, and, to judge from the success they have already achieved, they seem likely to make a hit. Although Les Mousquetaires de la Reine, L'Eclair, and Le Val d'Andorre have been given hundreds of times in France and Belgium, they have never been very attractive in

The King has just conferred the order of the Red Eagle, fourth class, on Herr Kücken, who, as you are aware, though all your readers may not be, is "Hof-Capellmeister" at Schwerin. I cannot say that I, myself, speaking as a Briton- an individual atom of the great British empire have any very high opinion of Red Eagles of any description, whether of first, second, third, or fourth class. I do not think they are to be compared for one instant to that noble beast, the British Lion. Still this little piece of attention on the part of his Prussian Majesty will be gratifying to a popular artist, and, therefore, I rejoice thereat.

VIENNA. Despite the highly unfavourable state of the weather, the monument in memory of Staudigl was solemnly uncovered in the Matzleindorf churchyard on the afternoon of the 23rd ult. It consists of a stone statue, life-size, by Pilz, representing the deceased singer with a laurel wreath in one hand and a lyre in the other. The head is encircled by long flowing hair, and one foot rests upon a volume of music. The figure is wrapped in a large cloak, which leaves only the head, breast, hands and feet exposed to view.-Herr Ferdinand Hiller has been unanimously elected a member of the Singakademie.

POTSDAM.-Herr Piper, assisted by the advice of the organist, Herr Boltin, has completed the restoration of the celebrated bells belonging to the Garrison church. Since the 16th ult. they have, with a few trifling alterations, chimed the old airs, namely, at the hours, "Lobe den Herrn, den mächtigen König der Erden ;" and, at the half-hours," Ueb' immer Treu' und Redlichkeit."

COPENHAGEN.-Herr Dreyschock, who is the great lion of the season, has given four concerts, two in the Casino, and two, conjointly with the Sisters Neruda, in the theatre. They were all most numerously attended; indeed, every place for the last was sold four days in advance. On the 6th ult. there was a musical soirée at the Prince of Hesse's, when Dreyschock played with Anton Rubenstein, who is engaged on the composition of a new opera, Schumann's Duet for two pianos, and, with Mlle. Wilma Neruda, one of the sonatas of Beethoven (Op. 30), for piano and violin. He left on the 14th ult. for Stockholm

STOCKHOLM.-A new opera, Estrella de Soria, by Franz Berwald, has been produced successfully at the Theatre Royal. On the night of the first performance, the King and all the royal family were present.
