The MoULToN CoNoERT.-The sale OF
tickets for the Concert to be given at
Washington Hall tomorrow night, by
Mrs. Charles Moulton and the corps OF
eminent artists with her, was very fair
on Saturday, and those who did not
then procure seats, will. if they are wise,
attend to it to-day, at Sheib's music
store.
The New Orleans Picayune, in speak
ing OF Mrs. Moultons concerts in that
city. says:
Those familiar with the brilliant
artistic and social triumphs achieved by
Mrs. Charles Moulton in New York and
Boston, but more especially in Paris,
will not be surprised to learn that last
night she added fresh laurels to those
already won as one OF the most remark
able songstresses OF the day, and that
she carried her first New Orleans audi
ence by storm.
Mrs. Moulton is a true artist. So
much personal grace and beauty, united
to a soprano voice of rare fexibllity,
sweetness and pathos, and whose clear
ness and freshness we're simply wonder
fuI has not been seen here since the
memorable furore created by Adalina
Patti. As concert singer, we have no
hesitation in placing Mrs. Moulton at
the head of the list Of American sing
ers; while her rare beauty, irreslstibly
charming simplicity Of manner and ex-
traordiuary versatility, make her a
formidable rival TO those European
singers who now occupy the front rank
OF artists.
We do not remember to have seen a
more enthusiastic audience than the
one which welcomed Mrs. Moulton last
night. .,
Her every piece was warmly encored
and everybody was completely carried
away with her. Those who saw Plco-
lomiui and Adalins Patti will remem-
Der a certain indescribable charm which
rendered them so bewitching. Mrs.
Moulton has the same fascination OF
action, appearance and voice that the
two celebrated Italian singers had to so
remarkable degree.
Although Mrs. Moulton has had a
brilliant reign as one Of the queens OF
society in New York and wherever she
has been abroad, she has still found
time TO bestow the highest culture upon
her beautiful voice. Neither the en-
thusiasm nor admiration OF crowned
heads or the first European could lessen
her studies, and the series OF notices
she has received everywhere she has
been heard fully attest her merit and
culture.
But we must turn from the bewilder-
ing personal and artistic attraction OF
this charming lady and true artist to
note the excellent support given her by
Mr.. Wehli, in whom we recognize one
OF the most brilliant pianists who has
vet visited us. His touch is marvel
ously sweet and deliciously soft, while
his execution, taste and skill are first
class. There is much in his style which
suggests at times the dreamy, tropical
lang lor OF Gottschalks playing, com
bined with the finish and force OF
Thalberg. The fantasia on Faust
and Sweet Home for the left hand
alone, were striking proofs Of his power
and artistic feeling.
Signor Fossati In the Largo" from
the Barber OF Seville" and other
pieces, proved himself baritone OF
great excellence, and basso singer OF
uncommon talent.
Mr.. Brookhouse Bowler, the tenor,
has a pleasing voice, which had already
been heard here IN English opera, and
is very acceptable addition TO the
concert room.
The accompaniment OF Mr.. Colby
were in his usual good taste.
