“New York. Oct. 18 “During the present week Mlle. Patti will give three concerts in this city. She will be assisted by Ritter, Prume, Habelmann, Hermanns (Basso) and Max Maretzek’s interesting orchestra. The first series (of nine or ten concerts) was very successful, pecuniary, and there is no reason to doubt that the second series will be ditto, if not more so.”
New York. Oct 25.There have been three Patti concerts during the past week, which seem to have been quite as successful musically and pecuniarily as were the initial ones. Mlle Patti executes her wonderful roulades and cadenzas with the same ease and grace. Habelmann has not improved; Prume plays decidedly better than he did at the opening concert, and the orchestra unmistakably bad. (It has also been reduced in size). M. Ritter is an admirable artists, and his quiet, gentlemanly manner of playing is something quite stupefying to audiences hitherto accustomed to clap-trap displays and monkey tricks with the keys. The Patti troupe starts for a very extended Western tour about Nov. 1st, and will probably visit Utah and California before returning to this city.”
