The Local Theaters: Mascagni at the Tivoli Opera-House

At the Tivoli Opera-house Mascagni will conduct on Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Sunday nights, March 2d, 4th, 6th and 8th, his "Cavalleria Rusticana," "Zanetto" and the "Hymn to the Sun" from "Iris." For the production of these the management has engaged Avedano, the dramatic tenor so long a favorite in this city; Mme. Caro Roma, Arthur Cunningham, Marie Welsh, Bernice Holmes and a grand chorus of forty trained voices. The orchestra will include fifty of the picked musicians of the city, and rehearsals are now under way for the performances. "Cavalleria" has, of course, been heard here often, but this time it will have the master's hand wielding the baton. "Zanetto" is a one-act opera for two singers, and has never been done in the city. The "Hymn to the Sun" from "Iris," heard at the Alhambra, is considered one of the finest of musical compositions. The sale of seats for the four nights opens at the Tivoli Opera-house on Wednesday at 9 A. M. The prices, on account of the extra expense, will be $1.50, $1 and 50 cents. There is already an immense demand, and there is no doubt that the opening night will see the house sold out for all the performances.
