GALLI-CURCI’S CONCERT
INVERCARGILL NEXT THURSDAY. DEFINITE APPEARANCE. In view of Madame Calli-Curci’s announced visit to the Civic Theatre on Thursday next, the following account of her final concert at Christchurch should be of interest: —“A cheer from the dress circle shattered the silence which followed the last song at Madame Galli-Curci’s final recital at the Theatre Royal on Saturday night. The spell of silent appreciation once broken, the audience gave the great singer a rousing farewell. From all over the theatre people cheered and shouted; some waved hats, others handkerchiefs and programmes, and almost as one the huge audience rose to its feet as Galli-Curci, after numerous encores and many enthusiastic calls, stood before them waving her handkerchief in graceful farewell. It is doubtful if any visiting artist has ever before been given such an ovation in Christchurch, and one may be acquitted of undue pride in expressing belief that in spite of her triumphs in the greatest cities of the world, Galli-Curci will not readily forget the tribute paid to her exquisite voice and her graceful personality on Saturday night. She can be sure Christchurch will never forget her.” The box plan for the Invercargill concert bears a much mutilated aspect as the Bristol.
