MRS. e. R. PRATT.
Interesting News of her Debut at Bor-
deaux, France.


Interesting News of her Debut at BOr-
deaux, France.
Letters have been received from Mr.. and
Mrs. e. r. Pratt giving an account of her
first appearance in grand opera under her
engagement at Bordeaux. Mrs. Pratt's APP
pearance was in LA Favorite." Owing
to the illness of the leading tenor, and the
engagement in his place of a soloist not
equal to his part, the circumstances were
not by any means propitious, but Mrs.
Pratt appears to have met her difficult sur
roundings with courage and to have &C
quilted herself creditably. She was warmly
applauded in her first appearance, was well
received in the first three acts, and was re-
called after the difficult solo at the end of
the third act. At the beginning of the
fourth act the voice of the tenor broke in
an important solo and he was Missed and
ieered by the audience, making the way by
no means favorable for Mrs. Pratt's APP
! pearance in that act The spirit shown by
her in going through with the part was,
however, greatly admired, These press no
tees are of interests
