rian cantatrioe, assisted by several
srsistes Of scarcely less merit, will give
grand concert at the Opera House,
on Friday evening. February 10. The
advent of lima de Murska in this
country last season was but repetition
OF the triomphs that had attended her
efforts in the old world. Her debut as
Amina in "La Somnambula," was o
most unqualified success. an ovation
to talent that had never been excelled,
while in the roles of "Lucia," "hTar-
tha," Linda" and especially in
"Dinorah. and as "The Queen OF the
Night" in the "Magic Flute" it was
admitted by the dilettanti that she had
no equal, but represented the perfec-
ton Of vocal art. Mile. de Mursks
now comes into new field of artistio
acting-the concert room-and it is
certain that there. as on the lyric
stage. she will become the reigninp
queen. supplying the place left vacant
by the death Of the lamented Psrepa
