"When. 6lie last aiJiiearetl in Wellington an unfortunate cold prevented Mdlle. Antonia Dolores, the French, soprano, from singing at her last concert, and she promised then she. would return, so that her numerous admirers and those who were disappointed on that occasion would have aii opportunity of saying farewell. Mdlle. Dolores has completely recovered and is reported to lie singing in her best term. Mdlle. Dolores and her concert party will therefore give the farewell concerts in the Grand Opera House on March 25,' 27, and 28. Entirely now programmes have been arranged for these concerts. Mdlle. Dolores possesses a soprano voice mellifluous in quality and extensive in range, embellished by a (lawless production, a perfection of technique, purity of enunciation, and an almost limitless variety of expression, enabling her to interpret every phase of vocal emotion, from the. depth of pathos to joyous hilarity, and her linguistic attainments afford her the power of; singing' in various tongues. For tho opening concert of the : fai-ewel season Mdlle. Dolores will delve into Mozart and sing the recitative "Ctiiiise Alfin" ("Lo Nozze do Figaro''), and the aria "Deh Yieni" (Mozart). The programme altogether will be one of those well arranged and diversified programmes that tho public come to look forward to from Dolores.Mr. John Prouse, baritone, and Mr. Harold Smith, pianist, will be the assisting. artists, The plan opens at the Bristol; Piano Company to-day for the three concerts, while, concessions are again announced for students and schools.
