Jacobi's music is capital in its place; but I doubt whether it will be revived fifty years hence; and but for the fact that Donizetti was an opera-composer and Mozart and Gluck were opera-composers too! it is pretty certain that not the united prayers of Patti, Albani, Melba, and Eames would induce any operatic management to resurrect "La Favorita."
Ay, but that wall is high! Not a twig can I see!" "Yes, it grows!" "And he comes not?" "He write. I see the letters." "But what does he say?" "How can I know?" "And she goes to the balls and meriendas no more. Surely, they will forget her. It is more than a year now. Some one else will be La Favorita." "She does not care." "Hush the voices," cried Faquita, scrubbing diligently.
Finally even Giovanni became uneasy; a well-bred woman could be counted on in given circumstances to do thus and so, but Favorita was of lowest peasant birth: her people were of the mountain districts, so primitive in thought and habit that her early training had taught her obedience to nothing higher than impulse.
He left his hotel for the station, singing the great aria of the fourth Act of the Favorita: neglected since that mighty German with his Rienzi, and Tannhauser, and Tristan and Isolda, had mastered him, to the displacement of his boyhood's beloved sugary -inis and -antes and-zettis; had clearly mastered, not beguiled, him; had wafted him up to a new realm, invigorating if severer.
There was no carpet on the floor of the bedroom of La Favorita of Monterey, the heiress of Don Antonio Herrera, and the little bedstead in the corner was of iron, although a heavy satin coverlet trimmed with lace was on it.
I am not going to give you a description of the "Favorita," which you may hear a dozen times a year at the theatre, for more or less money but it is only a franc if you stand; quite enough, too. I went upon the stage before it began, and peeped through the curtain to see what kind of an audience there was.
He led her, as he spoke, before a long mirror. "Now, cara mia, tell me, do you think that a man who possessed the love of such a woman as that would be apt to run seeking elsewhere?" La Favorita looked at her own reflection, at the slender yet full perfection of southern beauty, and she saw also the returning ardor in the face of her lover as he, too, looked at her image.

"The matter is that she has heard the millionairess is pretty, and she fears she will take Giovanni's heart as well as his name!" "Fava jealous! A delicious thought that! Yet I am not sure that I should care to be in Giovanni's shoes if he wants to get away from her," observed Rigolo, the actor. Favorita again swept toward the group, her voice strident: "Per Dio!
"The ballet is very important to-night," Nina heard the marchese saying to the Princess Sansevero. "La Favorita is to appear in the Birth of Venus. She does another dance first a Spanish one, I think." As he spoke, the ballet music had already begun, and the Spanish coryphées were twisting and bowing, and straightening their spines as they danced to the beat of their castanettes.
