‘THE GOLDEN LEGEND’ AT WELLINGTON.
On the 24th of July the Wellington Harmonic Society for the second time performed Sullivan’s cantata, ‘ The Golden Legend,’ the first occasion of its representation being two years ago at the Wellington Musical Festival. The solo parts were allotted in the following manner :—Elsie, Miss Katherine Hardy ; Ursula, Miss Porter, daughter of Captain Porter, formerly of Gisborne; Prince Henry, Mr W. Izard ; Lucifer, Mr F. V. Waters. It was preceded by Beethoven’s ‘ Calm Sea and a Prosperous Voyage,’ and Moskowski’s, ‘From Foreign Parts.’ Mr Robert Parker conducted as usual. The performance was such as to reflect credit upon the whole body of the performers, and read a lesson to those towns of New Zealand which, with a larger population, fail to produce similar satisfactory results.
