In view of the near approach Of her
)eason here the following gossip about this
popular cantatrice will no doubt prove
interesting:
While Emma Juch is to-day the foremost
yrtist singing the English language. vet
he has sung in the German and Italian
languages most Of the great roles. She is
cosmopolitan in her musical tastes. lust as
music itself is cosmopolitan. No one Ian
Tuage eXcels another. In the hearts Of the
people who speak a given language for the
rendition of music to the same nationality

Fingers are always above the language in
Nlich they sing. Great singers belong to
(very country. Once, when questioned on
his subject, as TO her preference for the
German or Italian school of singing,
Hiss Juch answered: q can only reply as

tosers Of the so-called modern school. But
here come times when long for Gilda in
.Rigoletto'' and Marguerite in Faust. ;"
The best way to Illustrate tee Tirility and
persistence of italian opera is to point out
hat Faust" IS a German subject, chosen
~ French composer. and likely to remain
ior all time among the most popular operas

composed in the Italian vein. While I was
