ANTONIA DOLORES.

Since her last appearance in New Zealand, Mdlle. Dolores ha® travelled in many countries. Great Britain, the European Continent (Germany in particular), South Africa, and California have been the scenes of fresh triumphs? She returns the same admirable artiste, eager to give of her very best "for art's sake," possessing; the same power as of yore to charml and hold her listeners by her cultured style, her wonderful versatility, and winning personality. It has been truly said quite recently of Mdlle. Dolores that of all the public singers who have visited New Zealand perhaps none has unconsciously exercised a greater influonco in directing musical taste or given students as many' lessons, in voice management as this artiste. Those who have enjoyed frequent opportunities of listening to her song-recitals will readily endorse this opinion. In addition Mdlle. Dolores has acquainted the Australasian public with many almost forgotten arid neglected gems of song literature, and has demonstrated her scholarly attainments as linguist and vocalist by presenting a programme so arranged! that whether the listener be a lover of opera; oratorio, the'graceful German lieder, or national balkd music, there is always some item calculated to pleasa and attract. The box plan opens on Monday next at the Dresden Piano Company's agency." ■ '
