OPERA HOUSE. WILLIAM HEUGHAN FAREWELL CONCERT.

All who had the pleasure of hearing him during his last visit, and all for whom this pleasure is still in store, will be pleased to learn that William Heughan, the great Scottish basso and his associate artistes, will give a farewell concert next Tuesday evening, May 26. He is unquestionably one, of the greatest artists who has ever visited this country, and no lover of music and dramatic art can afford to miss this last opportujvity of hearing him. He is proceeding to Australia, and will give farewell concerts in Sydney and Melbourne, on completion of which he proceeds to the United States and Canada. He is ably assisted by the brilliant young violinist Hyman Lenzer, who is considered by the critics to be the greatest violinist Australia has ever produced. He is but 20 years of age, but shows a mastery of technique and musical understanding which would do credit to an artist of twice his years. In Gladys Sayer, music lovers have a. pianiste whose art never fails to appeal, whether in the capacity of soloist or accompanist©. •In both spheres, she has earned world-wide praise., This will be the last opportunity the public of this city will have of hearing these great artists, and the opportunity should on no account be missed; The box plan opens at Mrs Cook’s on Saturday morning.
