Torriani-Sketch Of the Young Prima
Donna.
Among the distinguished artists to be introduced
this coming season to the American public by the
Messrs. Strakosch may be mentioned Nile. Ostava
Torrani, who has of late attracted considerable
attention at Her Maestys Opera House, London.
AS this lady seems destined to leading position in
her profession q. brief sketch Of her career thus
far may prove interesting to our readers. She is
the daughter OF NJ. TOrnqulst, Swedish Consul at
Hamburg, and was born in that city. She was
educated as pianist in Hamburg and in Dresden
in the latter city at the early age Of ten. Mile.
TOrrani gave concert, assisted by Mme Krebs

from Slgnor Dele Sedie. Under their able tuition
she developed rare vocal gifts being endowed with
q remarkable musical organization. The great
maestro ROssini took deep int rest in the young
artist, and by hts urgent advice she went to Italy
ana finished her musical education under the
supervision of Maestro Lamperti. She made her
debut in opera at the Scala, in Milan, in ..Figo-

that ''the part in the performance demanding the
most attention was that OF Susanna, as presented
by Nile Torrlani. She is gifted with an expressive
face, graceful figure, beautiful voice, an ele-
music and character, thus rendering the part
especially interesting" The Da1V telegraph
speaks Of the young arsisse in equally euogistic
proof OF talent and rare distinction, and her debut
at the Academy OF Music cannot fail to be very
interesting event.
The Salvini Dramatic Troupe.
At the Academy Of Music on the 10th September
a company of Italian players, with Signor Tommaso
Salvini at their head, will commence a series of
performances in the Italian language, under the
management OF Mr.. Maurice Grau. While the
promises are profrlse that the high school OF
tragedy will be placed on the stage with most
and minor characters, the success Of the season is
evidently staked on that Of Signor salvini. The
great performances of Madame Ristor are fresh in
the minds of New Workers. and, indeed, will 80 re-

vini His European reputation Is OF the highest,
and the stray pieces of comment on his acting and
inspiration which have reached this country ahead
of the managers prospectus enlarge upon his
merits. As sign Of the growing respectability Of
the theatrical profession it may be worthy Of note
that prominent artists have their biographies
written now with details altogether outside
OF their art career. SO Sgnor Salvini is
duly heralded to US. The early years OF
his life on the stage suggest strongly
that his story forms the groundwork for Ouida's
novel, "Pascarel" Like new artist in the oper-
attic line he has been fighter on the liberal side.
He was not one of 'the thousand Of Marsala," but
his nitro-sulphurous epoch lies in the days when
Garibaldi, the leader at MARSHA, was defend
ing Rome against the French under Oudnot
salyini fed to Genoa and studied, while Garibaldi
came to America and made soap on Staten Island.
We may conclude the political part OF his career by
noticing that he was much prosecuted by the Aus
TRANS in venetia and the little Italian dukes of the
period. and that this made him all the more popu-
lar with the people. Florence was the
scene OF his greatest stage triumph in his
own land where his name is much beloved.
He was born at Milan in 1888. His parents both
belonged to the theatrical profession and in proof
