JAPANESE SOPRANO
TO SING OPERA HERE
Tamaki Miura, Noted Singer,
Will Take Title Role in
Madame Butterfly"

The first appearance in this city of Ia
MAXI Miura, the noted japanese lyric
soprano. will be during the coming en-
gagements of the Boston Symphony Or
chestra, when Miss Miura will sing the
title role of Puccini's Madame Butter
ly."
Miss Miura who is the first OF her race
to win recognition outside her native land,
is a native of Toxic. She was graduated
with highest honors from the Toxic Acad-
emy of Music. A concert tour of the
principal cities OF Japan. in which she
was received with enthusiasm, was fol-
lowed by an engagement at the Imperial
Theatre. After a years study at Berlin
she made her debut in London as San
tuzza in "Cavalleria Rusticana'' and be-
came the sensation of the spring season.
Luisa Villani, the principal dramatic
soprano of the Boston Opera Company,
has the distinction of having created the
leading feminine roles in several world
premieres, one OF which has since proven
to be the artistic triumph Of the last
decade. The first of these was the role
of Ysabeau In the Mascagni work of that
name. when II was produced in 1913 under
the composers personal direction at La
Scala, in Milan.
The second was the role of Fiori, In
Montemezzi's 'The Love of Three Kings"
Since then the soprano has achieved
many noted triumphs for her interpreta-
tion of this exacting role, in which she
will be heard during the engagement here.
