Madam Evanti, who is a native of Washington, D. C., before returning to Europe in November to fill en gagements in grand opera is making a brief American tour and although she is well-known in the east where she has sung before capacity audi ences, and is in great demand is mak ing her first western trip and has I been induced to include Omaha in her itinerary. As an example of what foreign and American critics say of Madam Evanti it may be sufficient to quote from Le Courier Musicale of Paris, which says, “Madam Lillian Evanti sang with rare purity the grand air from ‘La Traviata’ and created a sen sation, revealing the qualities which make great singers and displaying gifts of coloratura soprano which re sounded like a pure crystal. Greatly applauded and recalled four times, she sang four American melodies with an innate grace and infinite charm.” The Washington Star says, “Lillian Evanti, a native W’ashingtonian, sang before an audience which not only packed the house, but listened at tentively to a complete professional program of classical caliber. Madam Evanti has a well-trained voice of lyric quality. She sang the old airs of Handel and Scarlatti with admirable lagato phrasing.” This is a rare opportunity to hear one of the race’s gifted singers which none ought to miss. In order to in sure a large audience the admission has been placed at popular prices. LINCOLN NEWS NOTES The Utopian Art club will be enter tained by N. B.
