GREAT SINGER’S VISIT
Wherever Madame Muriel Brunskill has appeared during her brief tour of Australia and New Zealand, the musical critics have lavished their praise on the lovely young contralto from Covent Garden, and the adjective that has been bestowed on her by practically all the critics is the word “glorious.” Madame Brunskill has every attribute that makes for unqualified success —a superb voice of extraordinary range and power, a gorgeous stage appearance, rare artistry and musicianship, a magnetic personality, and the charm of youth. Madamp Brunskill, who is English by birth and ancestry, is a Covent Garden artist who is regarded as the greatest British contralto of the present time. She is paying her first visit to the Southern Hemisphere, and it will probably also be her last one, as she is in demand in Europe for oratorio and opera. Madame Brunskill will give her first concert in Wellington on October 9, and she will have as her associate artist a brilliant Melbourne pianist, Carl Battling. The box plans for the two concerts will open at Beggs to-morrow.
