 The Providence Journal says of this
 company; The high reputation of Mime.
 Emma Nevada as an operatic and con-
 cert artist has been won chiefly in for
 eign fields She is well known and es-
 teemed in the opera houses of the Eu- ropean capitals, but is much less famil- far to audiences in the land of her birth. That she is an artist of the first rank in her own particular genre was evil dent enough to all who had the pleas ure of hearing her yesterday afternoon Mime. Nevada is not dramatic sopra-
 
 of surpassing skill. Her voice is of the finest texture, positively bute like in it's limpid clearness and purity of intona- tion and the effects she aims at are those produced by agility and the fin- est shades of nuancirng.
 She has wonderful control of her in- strument; the manner in which she can spin out a diminuendo to the merest thread, either in sustained tone or the trill, is a marvellous illustration of breath control and poise of voice. In fact, her whole vocal technique is ad- mirable. The evenness and grace of her trills and scales, coupled with her fine legato, are an object lesson in the old Italian style of singing, the method in which the worlds great singers were all trained before the present style of dramatic" singing was ushered in. In yesterdays programme her first and last numbers served to display her un- usual technical gifts, but in the charm- ing group of lieder she appeared to equal advantage as an interpreter of sentiment and musical feeling.
 Mme. Nevada was fortunate in her choice of supporting artists, all of whom made most agreeable impress sion. Signor Pablo Casals is an artist indeed upon the cello producing lovely tone and displaying supreme of the resources of his instru- ment. M. Moreau, the pianist, is also a performer of ability and the flutist, M was heard with pleasure both in his solo and the we'll played ob- igato which he contributed to one of the prima donna's numbers. The basso, Heathe Gregory, has a voice of unmis- takable worth, at once powerful and of very agreeable quality. His singing vas received With great favor. In act, all the artists were fairly over- vhelmed with applause. and several ac- ,eptable encores were added to the numbers.
