THE MISSES ALBU.

These young ladies, who have gained the warmest approval of English and Colonial artists, will open their season to-night at the Theatre Eoyul. Both Missed Julie and EoseAlbu have been engaged in pome of the highest class of concerts given in London, taking the parts of world-famed prima donnas. In the Colonies they have gained the personal esteem of all whom they have met, and as vocal artistes haye 1 established themselves as undoubted favourites. It is by the singing of snch ladies that our students may learn how to properly produce the ordinary everyday songs and ballads. The example shown by those who have made a lifetime study of vocalisation is worth quite as much as many years' tuition at the hands of an ordinary master. The Misses Albu have gained success in both oratorio and ballad singing, and may be heard as exponents of the works of both the old and new master. To-night's programme presents a course, including a wide variety of compositions, which should prove highly attractive to all classes. The duets, " Hear me, Norma/'and " Maying," which are well known, should be worth the admission fee, as they are to be sang by the Misses Albn. The ladies Iring with them a tenor from the London popular concerts, who has thoroughly established himself in the Colony as a great favourite, as the selections given by Mr Fuller are not altogether old, but a good many of the latest importation. Mr H. E. Gunter, the pianist, though very young, is classed amongst some of the beat as a composer. The musical direction will be left to Mr M. L. M. Plunkett. Popular prices of admission will be charged, and seats may fee secured at the warehouse of Meßsrs Milner and Thompson. By the patronage already assured the concerts promiee to be a great success.
