THE ARTISTS.
Tagliapietra, tie great baritone who
this season sings for the first time in the
English opera, has been for years promi-
nent before the American public, both as a
concert and an opera singer, aud will be
remembered By the st. Panl public from
his having sung here on a former occasion
with the Kellogg Concert company. lie
has been prime baritone o. the Napoleon
Grand Italian Opera company, and sung
two solos with Patti and Sealchi, which he
will also sing with the Abbot company.
His great histrionic ability cou-
pied with his magnificent voice
make him noted and
prominent artist wherever he appears,
and his present engagement with this COM
pany has been an ovation.
Mrs. Zelda Seguin is the acknowledged
queen among American contral5o singers.
She was for several seasons a prominent
member Of the Abbott company, and her
| return to the stage under it's auspices is
an event in operate annals, her rich
voice and beautiful person making her a
general favorite with all opera habitues.
Walter Allen, the bufo baritone, made
an enviable reputation the past season in
buffo parts in Baltimore, and is a valuable
accession to the company.
The st. Paul public are familiar with
the merits OF the other artists
of the company, they having sung hera
on the several occasions when the COM
pany have filled engagements in this city.
Ar. Castle retains ali this old-time popu-
larity and power, and remains still the
first among English tenors in romantic
roles; Sig Fabrini's voice, always rich and
powerful, will be heard at its best in the
operas to be given during the coming
grand season. Mr.. Broderick is rapidly
growing in public favor; Julia Rosewald
is more than ever favorite with her au-
diences, and Miss Abbott has gained in
power and lost none of that marvellous

the most pleasing and best loved of all
the great prima donnas who have sung in
this country. With such artists, a full
chorus and grand orchestra, under the
direction of j. H. Rosewald, there is
an unusual treat in store for cur people
IN the opening week.
That our people appreciate the feast of
delightful things prepared for them is
shown by the great preparations making
by the ladies for the opening. Milliners
and mantua makers are already busted
with orders for elegant costumes to be
worn on the opening night, and the scene
from the boxes and the stage will rival in
splendor that OF most any Opera house in
the country. 1t will be worth while to at
tend on that evening TO see the toilets
alone. Our fashion reporters are spending
all their spare time studying up the fash
ions, SO as to properly describe the elegant
toilets that will be displayed, and their
choicest powers and best adjectives will be
