NorrcE OF THE IRrsH soNosrREss, MISS HAYS
The following notice Of concert given by Miss
Hays in London on the evening of the 18th of May
appears in the London Sun Of the following day:
Yesterday morning Mig Catharine Hays, the
English prma donna Assoluta, who Is, sorry
to say, about to leave shores for America, gave
a grand farewell concert at the Hanover Square
Rooms. The audience one of tho most brill
liant ever assembled within these walls, and the
reception OF tho fair bcnofciare was most enthusi
astc. Never have heard Miss Catharinc Hays
sing more dcliciously than she did yesterday. Her
voice seems to have acquired greatly increased
power since last season, and her rendering Of the
'Ah mon fls,' from the Prophte, was q miracle of
exquisite musical expression; her lower tones were
exceedingly rich, and told with immense effect in
this splendid cavatina. But the great triumph Of
the concert was the 'Casta Diva from Norma.
Never have we heard Miss Hays sing more exqui-
Belini moro perfectly rendered. She gave the
and pathos; and her execution of the cabaletta
the very perfection of orid vocalizaton her fror-
ture was wonderful alike for its taste and execu-
ton The applause at tho conclusion raptur-
ously enthusiastc. Beautifully did she give the
exquisite duet 'Da guel d. from Linda, with Herr
Reichart, and Morris's new ballad Como where
sweet toned xephyrs4 was quite made by the deli
cious vocalization Of Miss Hays. This concert is
also worthy Of note ~ having introduced to the
musical public Mr.. Augustus Braham, the young
eat son OF tho great tenor. Mr.. Augustus Braham's
voice is light tenor OF great sweetness, iexbty,
and expression, and Of considerable power also.
We inclined to prognosticate brilliant career
for Mr.. Augustus Braham."
