Resources	Joseph Michael Forde, ANNALS OF THE TURF AND OTHER PASTIMES. In New South Wales and Elsewhere. No. LXVIII., Sydney Sportsman, 31 August 1904, 8 Contemporary with the arrival of Joseph Jefferson and Harry Sullivan came the opera troupe, controlled by as true a gentleman as ever set foot upon our shores, WILLIAM SAURIN LYSTER who arrived from San Francisco in 1861. In the troupe were Madame Lucy Escott, Miss Rosalie Durand, Miss Georgia Hodgson (Mrs. W. S. Lyster), Mr. Fred Lyster, and Mr. Henry Squires. Before entering upon a history of the troupe's Australian career, I may be permitted to give a sketch of the enterprising gentleman who brought the singers to our shores, and who ended his days amongst us. Mr. Lyster was born on March 21, 1828, at 116 Lower Baggot-street, Dublin, where his father, Chaworth Lyster, then resided. The father held a commission in the British Army, and had seen service during the Irish Rebellion in 1798. After his marriage he retired from the army, and became the agent of some extensive estates in Ireland, one of which belonged to William Saurin, then Attorney-General, after whom the future operatic manager was named. At the age of 13 years, William Lyster, recovering from a very serious illness, was sent on a voyage round the world in a sailing ship, and in that ship be visited Sydney and Melbourne in 1842. In 1847 he went out to the Cape of Good Hope, and served as a volunteer in the Kaffir war under Sir Harry Smith. A year afterwards he crossed over to the United States, and took to the stage. He had some qualifications for the profession, but it is said that his success, on the whole, was not encouraging, and in 1855, purely from a love of adventure, he joined a filibustering expedition against the peace of Nicaragua, organised by General Walker. Mr. Lyster, with the rank of captain, fought in three or four battles, and was then commissioned to the States to enlist recruits. During his absence Walker and his companions came to an untimely end, and the expedition collapsed. In the year 1857 Mr. Lyster appears to have directed his energies into a more agreeable channel. He got together his first operatic company, consisting of the artists named above. The company did well in the Western States, and Mr. Lyster found himself able to spread himself towards Australia. On arrival in Melbourne he enriched his troupe by the engagement of the well-known and popular baritone, Mr. Farquharson, and Mr. J. E. Kitts. The company met with complete success, and Melbourne established itself as the headquarters of opera in Australia. The troupe kept together for six years, visiting the colonies in turn. In New Zealand they had continuous employment for eight months. From 1861 until 1880 Mr. Lyster was so intimately connected with opera that an account of his career will consist of little else than a chronicle of the several companies that apppeared under his auspices. No venture, however, exceeded the first in its results. From 1861 to 1868 novelty succeeded novelty until the public were made acquainted with the best operas extant. As an instance of his industry it maybe mentioned that 'Don Giovanni' was produced for the first time in Australia on September 23, 1861, and 'The Huguenots' (Farquharson as Marcel) on October 14, 1862. The latter opera ran for 22 nights. In 1860 the company was strengthened by the addition of Madame Simonsen, whose first great success came about in 'L'Africaine,' in conjunction with Armes Beaumont. The latter had joined the Lyster troupe some time previously in Sydney, but it was not — so the critics say — until he was entrusted with the part of Vasco-di-Gamma that he stepped into the front rank as a tenor singer. After a long and successful stay in the Australian colonies, the company left for California in 1868, under Mr. W. S. Lyster's direction, sailing for San Francisco in the Alexander Duthie. In those days there was no Pacific mail service. The States projected tour proved a failure at the outset, and Mr. Lyster promptly returned to Australia, by way of New Zealand, in the barque Novelty. After the departure of Madame Escott and Mr. Squires, regular opera was absent from Melbourne for some time. Then a company which had arrived from South America appeared for a brief season, under the management of Mr. Lyster at the Haymarket Theatre, the principal singers being Vitali, Devoti, Bertolini and D'Antoni. Mr. Lyster then entered onto a sort of temporary partnership with Mr. John Smith, and went to England to engage another company. Under the joint management of Messrs. Lyster and Smith, Signora Baratti, Lucy Chambers, Signor Neri, and Signor Dondi appeared in Melbourne in 1870 the engagement lasting 12 months. Then came opera-bouffe in February 1871 a successful experiment, as comic opera had its share of public interest. Mr. Lyster's next venture was in conjunction with Cagli and Pompei in May, 1871, when a very strong body of singers was introduced: the Coys. Signora Zenoni, Signora Cortesi, and Signori Rosnati, Coliva and Dondi. The conductor was Mazzovati, and the troupe ran through a series of works of Italian composers at the Princess' Theatre. They then went to the Opera House, then known as the Prince of Wales Theatre. Then came Agatha States and her company, with Giorza as conductor, they performing for a limited period under Mr. Lyster at the Haymarket. For over ten years opera had been heard at each theatre at Melbourne, but it never could claim a settled home. The first performances in 1861 were given at the old Royal in Bourke-street ; some successful ones were given at the old Princess'. When the 'Varieties' was burned down, the Prince of Wales Opera House was built in Bourke-street East in 1873 by a company, of which Mr. W. S. Lyster was the managing director: and on the return of the Lyster-Cagli troupe from a tour in the neighboring colonies opera was given for the first time in the new theatre. A big triumph was achieved in the production of 'Moses in Egypt,' with Susini in the leading part. After this, English, French and Italian opera were played in turn, with Alice May Emilie Melville, and Clara Thompson shining in Offenbach and Le Cocq. The Palmeri Troupe appeared in 1874, but nothing remarkable was done in serious opera until 1877, when 'Lohengrin' was produced, with Madame Antoinetta Link and Signor Paladini in the leading parts. It had a long, though not remunerative, run. Ill health, in 1878, induced Mr. Lyster to visit England, and with him went his wife and Mr. Armes Beaumont. While in England Mr. Lyster entered into an agreement with the London Comedy Company, and returned to Melbourne in 1879, not much better, however, for his trip. On his return there had been short seasons with Madame Hersee, Mr. Verdi, and Madame Boema, interspersed with dramatic performances. Many years before his death Mr. Lyster established himself on a farm at Dandenong, occupying his leisure time in breeding cattle and sending away produce to market. At this pleasant homestead Mr. Lyster frequency surrounded himself with genial friends, but in the last year or so of his life his health compelled him to reside near the city. He died, at the house of his friend, Mr. William Dean, at Hawthorne, on November 27, 1880, aged 52 years. His widow— nee Georgia Hodson— surviving him over 20 years. When the Lyster Opera Troupe returned to San Francisco, in 1868, they did not go as they came; they left behind one of their number. ROSALIE DURAND, wife of Mr. Fred Lyster. This lady was a native of the United States, of French descent, and made her first appearance at Baltimore in 1854. On the morning of December 8, 1868, Mr. Lyster, according to the newspapers of the day, left his lodgings in Macquarie-street North to attend a rehearsal at the Prince of Wales Opera House, Castlereagh-street, leaving his wife at home, apparently in the best of health and spirits. When Mr. Lyster returned to his lodgings, he found his wife lying dead upon the bed. Medical evidence proved that she had died of heart disease. The theatre was closed that night, and on the following day Sunday— her remains were interred in the R.C. Cemetery, Devonshire-street, and at the head of the grave was placed a very modest headstone, on which was a very meagre description :- I.H.S. Sacred to the Memory of ROSALIE DURAND LYSTER, Who departed this life 8th December, 1868. Aged 33 years. While in Australia, Mr. Henry Squires had an experience of the fickleness of an Australian audience. After their first performance in Melbourne the troupe journeyed to Adelaide, where they had a full measure of success. Meanwhile some excitement was created in Melbourne. Mr. Squires was an excellent tenor, every Melbourne judge of music and voice conceded that. He was popular with those who did not understand music, but who were charmed with the beauty of his voice and his general bearing. The devoted Escott, too, had won her way into the affections of the playgoers. But Melbourne people had an idea that however excellent a vocalist, Mr. Squires was an injudicious letter writer, and his friend, the recipient of the letter, more injudicious than the writer, in publishing it. In the San Francisco 'Bulletin,' 11th June, 1861, appeared extracts from two letters written by Mr. Squires to a friend at the Golden Gate. These letters were dated March 11 and April 9, 1861. The first went thus: — "My Dear Friend, — We saluted the Antipodes on the 1st instant, after the delightful voyage of 52 days. We reached the trade winds eight days after sailing, when we had weeks of charming weather. For days and days the glorious Pacific was as quiet as a duck pond. I shall not attempt to give you scenes du voyage, as your knowledge of the world will enable you to picture for yourself the various characteristics eccentricities, etc., of a caged troupe of opera singers. Captain Hart and his agreeable half contributed largely to the pleasure of the voyage. The table was A.1. — fresh meats, vegetables, and fruits in abundance. The heat was severe in the tropics, but we managed to keep be low boiling heat under the h-awning. "I like this shore. Melbourne is a fine city, but everything and everybody is 'blwasted English.' The streets are broad and clean, some of them as wide as Pennsylvania Avenue. The public buildings, churches and residences generally are built of beautiful stone, and present an elegant appearance. I could almost imagine myself dropped down in some provincial town in England; there are the same Saturday night markets in the streets, the same gin shops, bar maids, hawkers, etc., and the same promiscuous use of the eighth letter of the alphabet. “There are three theatres in operation here, besides the Cremorne Gardens, singing saloons, etc. Lyster has made arrangements for the troupe to open on Easter Monday, the 25th instant. 'Lucia di Lammermoor' has been selected for the opening, when your most obedient will make his bow as the unfortunate and broken-hearted Edgardo. "We have a chorus of 17 men and 11 women, and a capital orchestra. The theatre is larger than the American in San Francisco. It is handsomely decorated, has a full depth of stage; is harmonic, but badly lighted. “I can foresee that my absence from San Francisco will seem interminable. I could gladly return to-day, and the sentiments you expressed on board the Golden Age, upon your return to California, I can fully appreciate." In the second letter Mr. Squires announced the debut of the troupe. "It was a great hit. Madame Escott and myself received a cordial welcome and call after the first act, second act, grand sestette encored, and call at the close. Abundance of applause in last act, and a jolly call at the close of the opera, which was 'Lucia,' as stated in my last." They played 'Lucia' three nights. 'Maritana' followed and was a great triumph. ''There were seven encores during the performance. So you see the Melbourneites mean to have the worth of their money. It is a good public, and the applause, if vociferous, is discriminating." Lurline followed. Miss Hodgson made her first appearance in 'Maritana,' and Rosalie Durand made her debut in 'Fra Diavolo,' which had been deferred from the first week in consequence of her illness. She had a fine reception. Respecting an Australian favorite, Mr. Squires wrote: — "I must not omit to mention Mr. Farquharson, our new basso and baritone. He has a magnificent voice, and is withal a gentleman. Unfortunately he goes to London in July to join the troupe at Her Majesty's Theatre. We have some hopes that he may join us, on our return, in California." These letters were published in the Melbourne newspapers while the Lysters were in South Australia. Melbourne people were boiled with indignation at being dubbed "blawsted English," and Mr. Squires was promised a warm reception on his return. 'Martha' was the opera chosen, for the re-appearance of the troupe. I was present, and I do not remember the old bouse ever being so closely packed, even on G. V. Brooke's last night, which was, up to the 'Martha' night, the record. It was said that many came around with certain missiles in the shape of vegetables, etc.; but, to the credit of that great audience, they were not used. The opening scenes were listened to with impatience, and when Squires came on as Lionel, the house rose at him. Pit, stalls, upper circle and gallery hissed, hooted and groaned, while the dress circle took the singer's side; ladies waved their handkerchiefs, and gentlemen frantically clapped their kid-gloved hands. The uproar lasted for several minutes. In moments of cessation Mr. Squires would essay to speak, the attempt only causing the uproar to break out afresh. Squires stood his ground manfully, backed up by Farquharson, who stood by his side with his right hand on the left shoulder of the other during the turmoil. When the vocal exercise had tired the audience a little, Squires was heard to say that what he had written was really intended as a compliment. This appeared to be adding insult to injury, and the uproar broke out again. Mr. Farquharson was seen to whisper something to Squires, and instead of attempting another speech, the tenor, having given the "office" to the orchestra, commenced the 'Last Rose of Summer,' Squires, in splendid voice, sang in superb style. When he had finished the packed house rose to the occasion, and rewarded the now smiling singer with round after round of applause. He had made his peace, and had gone bravely through his "baptism of fire." Henry Squires was not again troubled about his "blawsted English." Madame Escott and Mr. Squires were married, and settled down in some charming spot in Italy on ample means, gathered during a careful career, and were able to thoroughly enjoy the evening of life. Mrs. Squires died late in 1895. I believe Mr. Squires still lives, at least I have not heard of his death Mr. Fred Lyster is still in the land of the living, in California I think; while Armes Beaument is still heard of, occasionally, in Melbourne. Of these and others of the troupe more anon. (To be continued.) Article: Joseph Michael Forde, ANNALS OF THE TURF AND OTHER PASTIMES. In New South Wales and Elsewhere.
