The initial performance of "The Alcayde" was given in Brattle Hall last evening to a friendly and thoroughly appreciative audience of Pi Eta graduates. The opera scored a distinct success. There were very enthusiastic demonstrations of approval, and almost every number was encored again and again.
The plot and cast of characters have already been published at lenght. Little more need be said. The music is tuneful at all times, catchy in many places, and almost classical in others, and it is sung by a thoroughly competent cast and chorus. The work of the chorus both vocally and in groupings for stage pictures shows what earnest work will do. The gypsy dance made a distinct hit. The costumes, stage settings, and effects were all that could be desired.
The first public performance will be given in Brattle Hall this evening at 8.15 p. m. The visiting athletes, who take part in the games this afternoon, will attend the performance on invitation of the athletic management.
