MILE. LIMA DE MCKSKA.
HER FAREWELL CONCERTS.

II NO->SA-AsA's
| On Monday evening and on Wednesday
morning, the 9Th and 7th inst, the lovers Of
fine music, worthily interpreted by one Of the
most brilliant singers and most accomplished
artists OF the age, will have the much-desired
opportunity OF listening again to the charm
ing strains and the marvellous vocalization OF
the gifted Hungarian riva' of Jenny Lind.
| Mile. dc Murskas artistic career in Europe
during the past ten years has been a success
sion Of triumphs, her merits as singer OF the
very highest grade having been warmly
acknowledged by the most fastidlous audi
ences in London, Paris, st. Petersburg and
Vienna, in all of which great capitals she has
at once been recognized as one of the queens
of song.
| Coming here unheralded, and at time Of
great commercial depression and political dis
organization, she has achieved the extraor-
binary result of calling together under the
most unfavorable circumstances such bril-
liant audiences as we had not seen congre-
gated here since the advent of the Swedish
nightingale, and although her performances
were not attended by that very numerous
class of our population who consider it a
duty to abstain from all but religious assem-
blies during Lent, there was no percep!ible
falling off in the number Of enthusiastic diet
tamil who crowded the Opera House and Cru
newald Hall whenever her name Was on the
bill.
Now that there can be no further obstacles
in their way, the thousands of ladies and gen
tlemen who have notyet heard this truly phe-
nomenal artist, will not fail to avail them
selves of this last opportunity Of enjoying
such musical treats as are rarely vouchsafed
to the American connoisseurs, Mile. De
s1urska being supported by performers of the
very highest order of talent on their respec-
tive instruments.
Before abiding to these artists-Msssrs.
Braga, Sauret and Madame Carreno-S ,uret-
we cannot leave Mile. De Murska without
noting the fact that during her short engage
ment here she has appeared in three operas,
"Lucis, F" " Trovatore," and g Rigoletto, and
has given several of the most
characteristic gems from "Dinorah," 1.-The
Magic Flute" and "Robert lie Diable," besides
various pieces in six different languages; and
it is one of the most striking evidences of her
versatile powers that whether she under
takes the Italian, the French, the Ger
man, the classic or the romantic school Of
music, her style is always appropriate, faith
ful to the genius of each composer, and
equally effective and faultless in all. This is
praise which but few of the worlds creates.
singers ever deserved to such degree as
Mile. lima De Murska, who may be said to
rank first in that respect, while inferior to no
other living artist.
Additional interest will be lent to Mile. de
Murskss farewell concert, from the fact that
she is to sing Ophelia's 'mad scene" in
Thomas's ''Hamlst the part Of Ophelia
having been played by her with immense sue
cess in London and Vienna, where she was
pronounced by the best judges to be the best
representative of that character that has yet
appeared upon the lyrical stage.
As we remarked before, Mile. de Murska
has the very great advantage Of being sup
ported by artists of great merit and firmly es-
tablished reputation. Sgnor Braga. the violon-
celist, is recognized in Europe as the equal
of Servais, Franchomme, Batta, Seligmann,
Lebouc, Cossman, and his own countryman,
Patti, and he is besides a musical composer
of acknowledged merit, several Of his operas
and symphonic compositions having met
with great success in Italy and Germany.
As pianist, Madame Ca1reno-Sauret has
made such wonderful progress in her style
and method since she was first heard in this
country that she may now be safely character
lied as the first Of living Lady pianists, and
Mr. Sauret, tho violinist, is an accomplished
master of his instrument. and being still
quite young, will doubtless take still higher
rank in the future, and become one of that
glorious plead in which Vleuxtemps, Sivori
and Paganini shine like stars OF the first mag
nitude.
This brief review would be incomplete were
we to forget the abla and energetic manager
of the company, Mr.. de Vivo, whose excellent
musical taste is as conspicuously exhibited in
the selection Of the frst-class artists we have
Just mentioned, as his business tact and exec
bic success which has crowned all his mana
ger;ai undertakings. In taking leave Of him,
and Of the brilliant combination of talent he
has given us the opportunity Of applauding,
We desire to eay TO him, not only "adieu,"
but also eau revoir."
