THE ITALIAN OPERA AT Pixies
A very fairiaudience was present at Pixies
Opera-house last evening to witness the
presentation of "Mignon." Miss Kellogg
was prevented by cold from appearing,
and the role of "Mignon' was sung by Miss
Lancaster who did herself great credit. She
is not new to Cincinnati audience, but
she never before appeared in role so try
ing. and was not believed to be capable of
the excellent work she did last night. She
labored under the great difficulty of feeling
that she was singing to disappointed audi
ence-one that had come expecting to hear
Miss Kellogg-but notwithstanding this
great drawback she both sang and acted the
part of "Mignon" decidedly WELL The other
characters were all creditably rendered,
and but for the feeling of disappointment
on account of the non-appearance of Miss
kellogg, the whole would have been graf
flying rendition Of bright opera.
Tonight is however the important night
of the engagement Miss Ltta appears in
her great role of Lucia" in the opera of
Lucia di Lammermoor," and an audience
to fill the house may be expected Miss
Litta has been well heralded as great
singer and expectations run high regarding
her. The full cast is as follows:
