NOTABLE VOCAL EVENT.

AMY EVANS AND FRASER GANGE. In presenting Miss Amy Evans, the world-famed Welsh soprano, and Mr. Fraser Gange, the Scotch basso cantante, it is everywhere recognised that Messrs. Chappell and Co., Ltd., could not have made a wiser choice. Miss Evans possesses a voice that is described by the leading London critics as the sweetest that Wales has produced. The “London Daily Telegraph” says: “Miss Amy Evans has a truly magnificent voice of pure and strong resonance, laden with an intensely irresistible emotional force, and possesses a pianissimo that has no peer among the sopranos of today. The “Sydney Daily Telegraph” said of her: While concert-goers were no doubt expectant of some fine singing, they were hardly prepared for the sensation provided by Miss Evans, a singer with a superb voice of noble breadth and richness and a regal platform presence to correspond. Of Mr. Fraser Gange, the London press opinion is also laudatory. The “Melbourne Argus” wrote: Mr. Fraser Gange surprises his aucli-

ence by the quality and range of his voice. When he appears to be giving out his full power he astonishes the hearer by giving out much more. Both of these artists visit us in the very zenith of their fame, and come to these shores in the full plenitude of youth. The Auckland season commences in the Town Hall on Saturday, August 7.
