Rosa Ponselle in Elvira Role at Metropolitan

Fashionable Audience Hears the Opera Sung Again.

"Ernani" was repeated at the Metropolitan Opera House last evening, receiving its third performance in the course of the current season. The cast engaged in the representation was that associated with the work this winter.

Miss Rosa Ponselle again bore the burden of the woes of Elvira and Mr. Martinelli was the delineator of the sorrows of Ernani, the unfortunate nobleman who doomed himself to die by the blast of a trumpet. Mr. Ruffo once more demonstrated, in the role of Don Carlos, his ambition to shine with the finer lights of a polished vocal art, a matter in which his sincerity has now been placed beyond a doubt.

The performance proceeded along familiar lines and evidently gave much pleasure to the large audience. The revival of the work has gratified many of the older generation of operagoers who remember it as one of the musical joys of their youth, while the younger habitu?s of the theater are naturally interested in an opera which they have heard so much from their ancestors. There was much applause last evening and the principal singers were called out many times.
