MADAME ANNA BISHOP In company OF some forty
Of the critics and cqgg0scsHa Of the CITY we had the
pleasure on Monday evening Of listening to this lsdys
singing Though sull suffering from cold contracted
on the voyage from England and unable 10 give air play
to her powerful voice in the limits OF psrlor
we could sl recognise the artist whose uiumphs have
been So brilliant In the capitals Of Europe and who from
Naples 70 81 Petersburgh has been admitted 10 stand
among the fret Of living vocaisu Taught by some ex'

Madame Bishop possesses the personal qualities neces
.sry TO ean,ac who aims carry on the palm in the
aborous career Of the Opera Her figure slightly above
the medium size moves gracefully in obedience 10 the
impulses that are plainly manifested in regular and
strongly marked features and eye Of singular bright
ness and expression Her singing full OF passion and
when OF by all the appropriate accessories OF the
/ stage must be exceedingly effective. We know not IN
what line of characters her powers most called out
but we should say that Ia high tragedy coquettish
comedy she might carry the audience away Ike storm
or hold them deli GIFTED with her brilancy and spirit
! We heard Madame B. in English Italian and French
/ though we believe She sings all known and unknown
tongues with equal facility. Her voice is sQFraEO so
gafo Of great compass and wonderful heNi5iliiy Her
highest notes are achieved without apparent effort and
she dwcrs upon them trillBg and shaking Ike lark
! almost outof sight Her and ornaments are exc
cuted with business OF ear and dociy OF organ that
renders them ornaments indeed. Her of the chro
matte scale especially Indicates the most careful sud sd
mirsble culture Ii is delightful To hear singer who
attacks every note with bodncss and certainty and
holds II with eesrness and hrmne.s like hers. lnaworj
the method of Madame Bishop is entitled to high praise
and does equal credit to her master and herself
We understand that the public will soon have the op
oortunity Of hearing Madame Bishop in this Concert
room We should greatly prefer 70 witness her debut
in Lucia Norma or Bar5ire d Srglia and shall still
hope tor the opportunity OF Judging her singing under
every advantage TO enhance It's effect
