The directors have great pleasure in announcing that
they have secured the services of Mdlle. Nilsson for the
above occasion. Although the expenses of such engage-
ments as the above must necessarily b • very great, yet it
is believed that the opportunity to hear the Diva, supported
by such an excellent company, will be gratefully seized by
thousands, and will thus prove remunerative to the com-
pany. The concert will take place at three o'clock on the
Great Handel Orchestra, the company's Saturday band
accompanying. To render it really a great popular con-
cert available to all, the charge for admission will not be
increased beyond the usual one shilling, or by guinea season
tickets. Stalls, half-a-crown, at the Crystal Palace and
Exeter Hall.

Mdlle. Nilsson will sing, air, "Angels ever bright and
fair," Handel; recit. and aria, "A h ! non giunge" (" Son-
nambula "), Bellini ; Swedish melodies ; scena, "Spargi
d'amoro" ("Lucia "), Donizetti. Also in duet, " Ebben
per mia " (" Gazza Ladra "), Rossini ; and in quartet,
"L'invito el mare," Arditi.
