The performance of Girard on the flute was wonderful, and met with extravagant applause, but it was somewhat too laboured and artificial for our untutored ears: The Opera Comique is confined almost exclusively to the sort of entertainment which the name expresses: the scenes are generally laid in the country, and the characters introduced are of the lower orders: the pieces commonly represented belong to the same class, therefore, as the English operas, Love in a Village, Rosina, &c. but the dialogue is in general more animated, less vulgar in the lower parts, and less sentimental in the higher.
He also became first violin at the Opéra Comique, and professor at the Conservatoire, where he formed some excellent pupils, among them being D'Artot, Rovelli, the teacher of Molique, Massart, the teacher of Wieniawski and Teresina Tua, and Lafont, who also became a pupil of De Bériot.
"No." And Ethel shook her head. She did know, precisely, and it was her motive for all this talk. "Take you there and get rooms in the Quarter not too far from the Luxembourg " "Oh, Joe, you perfect darling!" He went on describing all they would do, in the cafés and on the streets, in old churches and at plays and at the Opera Comique, where she must surely see "Louise."
I know, for I am a musician, and played the violin at the Opera Comique. You think I am lying; but you are young and life is strange. I can tell you this: I, Janin, once led the finale of Hamlet. I saw that the director was pale; I leaned forward and he gave me the baton. I knew music. There were five staves to conduct at the Opera Comique." He turned his sightless face toward Harry Baggs.
That woman makes him believe black is white." The ex-actor concluded his harangue with a wink at the comique and the financier, and for a moment the three exchanged glances, conventional grimaces, 'ha-has! and 'hum-hums! and all the usual pantomime expressive of thoughts too deep for words. Frantz was struck dumb. Do what he would, the horrible certainty assailed him on all sides.
But at present there seems to have been nothing very conclusive. The meetings have all been in public places, without concealment restaurants, the Opera, the Comique, the Louvre, Luxembourg Gardens, lounge of the hotel, and so forth. She has not yet been traced to his rooms, nor vice versa. They went to Fontainebleau but nothing of value.
It so happened that this very letter had the effect of drawing those on whom my concerts had already made an impression more enthusiastically towards me. Amongst others a M. Perrin introduced himself to me; he had formerly been director of the Opera Comique, and was now a well-to-do bel esprit and painter, and later became director of the Grand Opera.
'This great event may occur in a thousand ways, and no one can affirm that our earth and the other planets have not experienced more than one revolution, through the mischance of encountering a comet on their path. 'The Parisians will not desert their city on the 20th inst.; they will sing songs, and the play of "The Comet and the World's End" will be performed at the Opéra Comique.
The truth is, I am threatened with trouble if I appear at the Opéra Comique, particularly in 'Carmen. The whole matter is paltry beyond words, but really I am a little afraid." "May I hear the story?" "You know Carlotta Deschamps, who always takes Carmen at the Comique?" "I've heard her sing."
So it happened that, on the evening in question, he appeared upon the stage escorting a financier from the Metz theatre and a comique from the theatre at Angers, both waiting for an engagement.
