MISS ADELAIDE VAN.STAYEREN.
Miss Adelaide van Staveren, whose song recitals on Wednesday and Thursday promise a genuine musical treat, will 1* supported by Matthew Dixon, who will also accompany her in her varied and exacting programme of opfa'atic gems. The "Gazette de Fossano," writing of tlnis distinguished New Zealand artist, says: "Let us now come to the last evening, then in honour of Adelaide van Staveren, the much-applauded contralto. She came especially from Milan to be i):ted oneo more. Adelaide van i-jtaveren is one of those few artists of whom, a. critic may truly spenk highly—very highly—without pangs of conscience. She has a clear, powerful voice, an even compass, and a' dramatic mobility of expression which render it suggvstive of the character represented. She feels and understands her part exquisitely, and incarnates it therefore with surprising truth and effectiveness. We know that Mi«s van Staveren i{ alreadv engaged for Dal Verme in Milan, and the news does not surprise us because she is so powerful and conscientious an artist as to lie qualified to appear in the leading theatres of Italy. W« wish this (istin.guished artUt greater and still, greater triumphs, for she deserves them."
