A Word Or Two About Jullien And " Metro ...
A WORD OR TWO ABOUT JULLIEN AND " METRO GRANDE . " All the world of music is on tip-toe of expectation to hear Pietro il Grande , announced for Tuesday next at the Royal Italian Opera . The performance of Jullien ' s first opera may fairly be said to create a more lively sensation than any musical event for many years . The immense popularity , the somewhat eccentric , but very high reputation of the composer , the obstinate belief of the many that a man who has succeeded so eminently in one style cannot possibly be capable of any other , and the belief of the few , that a man who has possessed the ear of the multitude so unfailingly , and who has so mastered the elements of success , as to IL
popularize the highest art equally with the most trivial , not to speak of the brilliant orchestras he has been in the habit of conducting , the undoubted influence he has exercised on the musical taste of this country , the rare merit of his dance music , and the feeling , originality , and substance of his vocal compositions , ( published under other names)—will probably succeed in higher flights whenever he shall make the ascent—all these considerations have roused quite a buzz of controversy about Jullien and his forthcoming great work . Meanwhile the rehearsals have proceeded
A Word Or Two About Jullien And " Metro ...
unremittingly , and it is something to bear that all the artists _engaged in the work , principals and chorus , are thoroughly delighted with their ? arts : and as enthusiastic in learning , as Jullien can be in teaching _, ' amberlik has been reserving himself for some weeks for the great role of Peter , written , as if to measure , for the display of the best qualities of his splendid voice , and sympathetic style . A great deal of fun has been _, expended beforehand on the reported colossal scenic effects in preparation . An entire regiment of cavalry , says , one musical gentleman , not a composer ; * a " park of artillery , " says another , not an amateur . , Now all
who know Jullien will be ready to believe that he will not altogether forego his propensity to startling effects , especially on a subject which lends itself to scenic display : but we may be quite sure that his ambition , being all musical , will have taught him to make the music the chief effect , all the rest , however superb , being subordinate . But that the mise en scene will be something extraordinary , even at Covent Garden , is a rumour very credible . We have heard that in the scene representing the battle of Pultowa , there will be three military bands on the stage .
A hail-room , scene will enable Jullien to " come out" where he has scarcely a rival ; and a Russian danseuse of great name at St . Petersburg is specially engaged to dance the Pas Caracteristiques in the Mazurkas , Polonaises , & c . But we say again that , however Jullien ' s love and mastery of massive effects may be indulged , the ambition of the composer will preddfninate . Jullien s position is very singular and very difficult . He has no such rival to encounter ( though no doubt he has found no lack of the jealousies and cabals that attend on genius !) as his own previous reputation . If there be too much melody iu his opera , too much tune , big-wigs , great and small , will call it " dance music . " If there be too little " tune ' and too much science , he will be voted by the million who know and worship
him , a disappointment and a bore , and be politely _requested to return to his quadrilles . Surely a man who conducted in Paris when a mere boy , and who before the prime of life has achieved already that popularity which Victor Hugo so finely calls— " La gloire en gros sous , " has plenty of time before him to carve out a path to the more difficult heights of a more lasting and more noble fame—the fame which is reprer sented by the guineas of the Opera , and , what is far better , by the quiet admiration of men whose praise is that of a contemporary posterity . Tuesday night will be a severe ordeal for Jullien . I have said so much from the very sincere faith I have in his success . May he " strike the stars with his sublime head , " and may I be there to see and to hear .
Our Difficulties.—You Must Not Suppose T...
Our Difficulties . —You must not suppose that you gentlemen in America are the only people who have great difficulties to contend with . With us there is want of space , and perhaps , too , want of knowledge how to use what space we have . We are crippled by laws and practices in reference to law , which I fondly trust are not equalled in absurdity , not only in any part of this planet , but in any other planet that circles round the sun : the history of many a great law case is a thing which , if reall y well written , would c onvulse the world with tears and laughter . In many of our ways and habits we are so constrained by the most thoughtless conformity with the past , that the nation
is like a tall boy of poor parents who is painfully tight in his clothes . Then , in any great question submitted to the public here , relig ion , or rather re ligious rancour , springs u p like t h e vin e s which , at tbe will of Bacchus , rose suddenly from the earth and entangled the feet of some poor mythical person—whose name I now forget , but you , as being later from a University , will k now all about him . A gain , we , as well as you , have constitutional difficulties to contend with . Before anything wise or gootl can bo done , innumerable people ha ve to be persuaded , or outvoted , or tired out . All the possible folly that can be said on any subject baa to be answered and borne with and exhausted . Tho
chaff has to bo winnowed away many times before the grain can be got at at all . One conclusion from all this in my mind is , that , as more power of all kinds is _alknveel to thc individual in meidern _ceinstitutions ( us feir _nistunce he has more power of obstruction ) , more is demanded from him in the way of individual thought and exertion for the public good . —Eraser ' s Magazine . — August . Kino Loo . —I am sure that many a man must havo _h'h , as 1 confess I have , struck down tt ) the earth for tbe ; moment by a vast and indefinite despair at seeing how little is done , compared witli what might bo done , m the great _sanitary reforms that are needed in this country , and , indeed , in most countries ; and then , on the : other band , to see tho noble way in which smoke :, dth

semblage , too , open to the press , and with a pretty nearly unlimited power of talking .
