S. over which the Italian flag waves, they came to stand in line at the doors of the Manhattan Opera House, wherein Bernardo de Muro, famed Italian tenor, sang last week in Trovatorc. Next day, Manhattanites of other nationalities read with astonishment of the singing of this De Muro-how his allegro was as clear as the bells of- Capri, his pianissimo tender as the mandolins of Sorrento and how the great assembly of his countrymen in the galleries, pit and loges of the old opera...
