Grand Musical Mission 20 Europe.
Napoleon Ullman is once more on the musical
war path. On this occasion he goes to invade
the Old World with the talented artistes of the
New. A fresh and brilliant idea has filed the
mind Of this great operatic tactioan, and on
Saturday next he leaves our shores on grand
musical mission to Europe. His tour will en-
brace the classic and distant regions of France,
Germany, England Russia and Italy; and after
traversing these countries, and delighting their
people with the sweet notes of tho beautiful
warblers of America, he will once more turn
his face to the West, and come back to us with
those great celebrities, Mile Titiens and
Madame RistOri.
This combined movement of the Napoleon Of
the Opera must greatly commend itself to the
musical and even to the political world. Such
a mission to Europe is big with Importance
What Thurlow Weed failed to do, Ullman will
easily accomplish He will bring harmony to
all the crowned heads Of Europe, cause their
dscord to cease, and make them think of war
no more; he will startle the fashionable world
Of London. Paris, Vienna, st. Petersburg Ber-
lin and Milan with the rich voices Of the
"sweet singers" of the far West; he will lift up
our young and talented American ortistes to the
position of power and fame held by the
beautiful Titiens and all this Napoleon will
do by his magic wand
The silver key Of the fountain Of tears.
Where the spirit, care like drowsy child,
Is laid asleep in flowers.
Thus, then, Napoleon Ullman starts boldly
and favorably on his new mission, while the
eyes of all Europe and America are fixed upon
him. And in order that our readers may better
understand the magnitude and importance of
the movement, we give them all the particulars
of the case. Napoleon has engaged Miss Kel-
logg as tho leading prima donna at Her Majesty's
theatre, London. She is to occupy an equal
rank with Mademoiselle Titiens, and will re-
ctiye salary OF thirty thousand francs (S6,00O)
for twenty-four nights. Flotow, the celebrated
composer Of martha" is arranging the opera
OF ::Stradella" for her. Ullman offered Miss
Kellogg an engagement for four years,
with a gradually increasing salary; but
her family were unwilling that she
shsuld bind herseK under any conditions, ex-
cept they were from year to year. This is Ull-
mans first move. The next is the engagement
Of Carlotta Patti, through Ullman, by Messrs
Beale & Guy, Of Covent Garden, London. She
is 10 receive a salary Of $4,000 francs year
(s16,000), and expenses paid for three persons.
This, it will be seen, is not very bad move
Next we have Napoleon engaging Morensi for
three years for London, Paris and st. Peters
burg. This is one Of those brilliant coups that
have rendered the name of Napoleon Ullman
famous in the history Of musical strategy. Mo
rensi will however, remain here until the
month Of October, and in the meantime will
prosecute her studies under Signor Abella and
Madame d'Angri, who have taken charge of
her altogether. Angri, it is known, is the
greatest living contralto, and of course 1t is Of
the greatest advantage to. Morensi that she is
under the guidance Of so accomplished q singer.
In laying out his plain Of campaign
Napoleon has not forgotten Brignoli The
handsome tenor has given Uilman carte blanche
to make arrangements and sign contracts for
him in Europe On his last return from Europe
Ullman did bring Brgnoli some contracts; but
there were points in them in reference to operas
which the tenor did not like nor approve, and
which have therefore to be amended Thus far
we have the artistic movement from this side Of
the Atlantic.
In reference to the non-arrival Of Madame
Ristori and Mile. Titicns. this season, Napoleon
is not altogether silent. He summarily dis.
poses of all popular objections by the follow
ing documentary evidence. which eaectually
closes all discussion on the subject
Sunny different reasons have been assigned Tor the
