DOLORES.

TO-NIGHT,

That sweetest of singers, AuVriitf Dolores, will giv* a recital of song at the Theatre Royal this evening. Her entertainment is now famous in every portion of the civilised wor.d. ftJ.-d she stands as one in. rcr line who not only had the courage to break away from convention; dispense with the help of artists of incfliwro merit, and with the assistance <'i a pianist srive an entertainment that lias never been excelled. With further enterprise she laid upon the- shelf tic threadbare ditties that had done dv.t.v so long, called to her aid the best composers of all ages and every language, and a glance at her programme indicates the amount of hard *crk the artiste must} hare accomp.ished to reach the leminew* she so frvptly adorns. Her reputation has preceded her and we expect to sec out M the most numerously attended concert? that has ever taken place in Nelson. This is the., programme:-- Lc Vuv lette" (A. Scarlatti), "Solve Amicho ; (Caldara); Rccit — "Eilo trepicde^ (Pasiello); Air—"Sous vii Vrmeait (Gluck); Menuet—"Le cefebre m<>nliet d'Exaudet (Anonymous); Reat,— "0 Worse than Death, Indeed (Theodora), Handel; piano (a) "Romance/ (tji "Capr.ce" :(Shutt), "Monduacht" (Schumann), 'Her Nussbaum" (Schumann) • Recit.— "Oui pour co soir" (A.

Mr. Sehvyn Shrimplin assists ably at the piano. We have been requested to make it clear that only one con* cert can possibly be given in Nelson. This evening, therefore, will be the only opportunity of hearing tlie distinguished artiste. .
