METROPOLITAN OPERA HOUSE.

Halevy's "La Juive" was performed a second time at the Metropolitan Opera House last evening in the presence of an audience of fairly-large size and generous enthusiasm. The essential features of the performance did not materially differ from those noted in this place after the first representation. Herr Niemann was again the Eleazar, a part which he acts with commendable sincerity, though with occasionally too much demonstration. As a whole, however, it is one of the best things the tall tenor has done outside of Wagner opera. As a matter of course, he is inadequate to the demands of the music, but in appearance and earnestness he makes an excellent impression. Fr?ulein "make-up" and costume so that he looked like a man and not like a Jack-in-the-box, as he did at the initial performance. He was in good voice and his work was praiseworthy. Frau Biro de Marion repeated her intolerable rendering of the Princess. Herr Fischer's Cardinal was the most symmetrical work of the evening. The chorus and orchestra, under Walter Damrosch, were efficient.
