MADAME GITTA ALPAR.
HUNGARIAN MEZZO-SOPRANO.
Madame Gitta Alpar, a talented Hungarian singer, assisted by well known local artists, -will give a concert in the Liberty Theatre on Sunday evening. Possessed of a voice of excellent quality and wide range, Madame Aipar will sing her native folk songs and will also sing in English. Madame Alpar has given concerts in various New Zealand centres, her last being in Dunedin on Saturday last, and referring to which the “Star” says:—About folk songs there is a refreshing atmosphere, which, without being in the least cheap, makes an appeal .that is practically universal, and what caused Madame Alpar’s numbers, given at her complimentary concert on Saturday evening, to be even more refreshing was the fact that they savoured of the simple life in a land of which we in New Zealand know little. Certainly we have heard Hungarian music. But the chances of hearing and seeing such a talented artist as Madame Alpar, positively revelling, as it were, in the song and beauty of her homeland, have been all too few.
