Emma Abbott, who will be here in
"Paul and Virginia - next Tuesday even
ing with 45 artists, is the only person who
has ever presented this opera in America.
She has been highly successful in it, being
specially adapted for the role in physique,
temperament and general quality of voice.
The present company began the opera in
New Orleans early in February, and it was
a sweeping success from the outset. In
one performance the curtain rose eight
times on the love scene and the duet, such
was the ardOr of the audience. When Bob
| Ingersoll heard Miss Abbott in it he said
her singing was like the rustling of
| WINGS and her voice is as fresh as the
dew and as pure as the dawn Miss Alb
bott herself says :" The piece is extremely
| intricate, though there is 4 great deal of
beauty in it which appears simple to some.
Even when sung to uneducated people the
! harmonies of the score reach the heart,
| and the pathetic parts are always markedly
| effective. But it is very hard to sing,
| especially so in the bird song. The opera
| always draws well, because it is familiar
story, free from Objectionable illusions of
| any kind, is not overdone in any respect,
and is one of the best adaptations of its
kind ever put upon any stage"
