and opera will again flourish here in our language s
did from the time when Mad Ma.bran instituted 4
about 1927 up to the retirement Of the Segun
the latter being the latest resident company Of sines
on The stage in this country.
We hold that after the Italian language the Eneuk
is the best for musical purposes: and as Germany ~
German opera, and France French opera as natioral
institutions, there Is No valid reason why In this eks
and country, II possess the taste to which w IN
claim, should not have American opera a. a PERM
nent Institution.
From the time Of Madame Mabran who sang in IA,
gsh as well as in Italian various attempts with VAN
ing success, were made to establish English opersi.,
this country Operagoers old enough to remember 81,
speak with enthusiasm Of Mrs. Austin, who for NAM
years sang Rossinis music with English words on IL
stage here. To her succeeded the celebrated Ms Ia.
seph Wood (Lady Lennox) who. besides being sines.

the third city in size i'm the Unon the two nubcrin1

AT the present time, manager may select comDsny

Among prime doans, at lesst, there Is no desrh q
cspable singers, aud American ones too There Is Mo
Aisline Patti Mise Kellogg. Miss Adelaide Phlnp4
Miss Morenci Mrs. Guerrabelia etc.. The ups ~
downs OF music and fashion beyond prophecy. F0
example, splendid Italian opera heucs was erccte0
in Lonad street about 1885, but failed for the purpose
for vhich it was built and successfully managed
an English opera house, by Mr.. Wison for sos-
sons previously 70 its destruction By fire. Next, Mr.
Palmo built Italian opera HOUSE,, aboas 1872; and
that IN his failure. became q theatre In tho hands 81
Mr. Burton The Aston place opera house vac erected
in 1871. and that vas turned into q library.
Then, in 1854 tbs Academy Of Milsis VS.
built where spasm opera. the sessoDs 1ayia4
fom whole nigh. up to twelvs. has been Per.
formed, At this rate I. might go forever aaA
Italian opera rot become established instsutioa.
The greater then is the reason for supporting The
tefprise Of Mr.. @. Harrison to natonazc opera b
our tongue. He asssysrates his dotsTmnaiontp
