VIENNA BOYS’ CHOIR
PLANS NOW OPEN. Plans were opened this morning at W. G. Perry’s for the concert to be given by the renowned Mozart Boys' Choir of Vienna next Friday night at the Opera House. Indications are that the capacity of the Opera House will 1 be taxed to its limit, and early reservation is advised. Perhaps the most widely-appreciated part of the choir’s programmes is the performance in costume of operettas by the great Viennese composers from Haydn to Johann Strauss. Writing of their performance in these operettas, a leading press critic says: —“The acting had all the art of experience; the singing never failed in charm, and the humorous scenes captivated the audience. . .
The art of these Viennese boys may teach composers again to write for the voice. It is not only a musical achievement; it is an expression of young life, beautiful, joyous and harmonious, a corrective of casual performance, and an inspiration to all who are privileged to near it.”
