‘MARITANA ’
Since 1 Maritana ’ was first produced at Drury jTauo in November, 1545 ; it lias enjoyed world-wide popularity. Still a favorite with the music-loving public, it is likely for many a day to retain its position in the operatic repertoire. The lasting impression of the melodics in ■ ‘ Maritana ’ cannot help but sot the old people remembering past performances and stars such as Miss Fanny Moody in the name part, Joseph O’Mara and Barton, M'Guckm as the clashing Don Cats ar, and Charles Manners and A lick Marsh as the intriguing Don Jose. The Maritana for the Lyric Chib’s concert is Miss Mcda. Paine, whoso fine voice and sound technique will enable her to compare with the best Mnritanas of the past. Mr L. A. North should be an excellent Don Jose. The young tonor ; Mr Arnold Perry, should prove himself a worthy Don Caesar. The King and the Captain, in the hands of Mr W.Mitchell, will enable him to exploit his full, rich baritone. The Lyric Club Choir has a combination of young vocal students keen on their work. The orchestra, under the leadership _ of Mr J. A. Wallace, will lend fitting color to the tuneful opera. Mr John Leech will direct. Patrons are reminded to take advantage of the booking facilities at The Bristol.
