The next event OF local interest N the musical
world will be the italian opern aeason, which
commences at McVicAer's Theatre on the 18th

nambula," Jennis June SAYS, sis perhapH the
best on the operatic stage, her exquisite voice
being one OF those 1aro organs that can sing the
high music Of Asainu without impairing it's tone,
and wi=h the apparent facility OF cage full of
larks or nightingales.' She has made reputa-
ton as great artist ali over the operate world
and her advent here will waited for with great
interest by our opera-goers- OF the repertoire
here We cannot speak. as it has not been an-
nounced.' The only facts that can be stated at
present are contained in the advertise
ment printed elsewhere. Tho fact is well known
that thus far Mr. Strakosch's aeason, like every
other musical venture in the country, possibly
excepting the English opera, has been on the
losing side. He is:looking to Chicago as the
trump card to redeem his fortunes. Chicago has
done much in times past in helping the impre-
sarios cut Of their troubles, and, as Mr. Stra-
kosch has always been favorite here, owing to
his possession OF tl1at rare managerial quality,
varacity, ne have no doubt Chicago will encour-
age him and his singing-birds with handsome
patronage. The sale Of seats commences on
Wednesday, the 18th, at Bauer's music-store.
