THE KELLOGG TROUPE.
Monday evening next the public will have the
pleasure Of welcoming to Washington the Queen
Of English Opera, CLARA Louise Kellogg, who,
assisted by her star troupe, will commence an
engagement Of one week at the National theatre.
Miss Kellogg has seized Holt Of the operatic
question in the right spirit, and her adoption Of
the English opera proves that she thoroughly
understands the progress Of the American people
in musical culture and taste. She belongs to
America, and that Americans are proud of
power and position in the lyric drama Is proven
by the noble manner in which they second her
efforts to establish a frst-class English opera in
our midst. Miss Kellogg has made fame in the
Italian opera. In fact she rose to the height Of
prima donna Of the first rank, both in this
take her out Of the Italian opera except her
knowledge of the growing tastes Of our own pub
lie for the higher class Of musical entertainment
She got into the field Of English opera in good
time, and she will hold the high position she Oc-
Cupies in II against all corners. The repertoire
consists Of all the popular operas Of the day,
seats for each Of which may be obtained at Metz
eIotts tomorrow morning, when the sale of
places for Miss kellogg's entire engagement will
commence.
