“Last evening, at the Park Theatre, the De Murska troupe gave a charming concert, which was very well attended. Mlle. De Murska sang an aria from ‘Semiramide’ and Proch’s song, with variations, which she made so familiar to our concert-goers. The piano and violin solos of Mme. Carreno-Sauret and M. Sauret were delightful performances, and Signor Braga played with wonderful delicacy two compositions for the ‘cello. Herr Habelmann sang a ballad of Abt, and ‘M’Appari’ from ‘Martha,’ which was also sung by Signor Benfratelli at Booth’s Theatre, where some artists of the Strakosch company gave a delightful entertainment.”

“Mlle. Ilma di Murska and her fine concert company attracted an immense house to the Park Theatre last night The Hungarian Nightingale sang ‘Bel Raggio,’ from ‘Semiramide,’ with the ease, thoroughness and high intelligence of a great artiste. For an encore she gave Abt’s ‘Gute Nacht, Mein Herliches Kind.’ In the trying variations by Proch she won unbounded applause. Her voice, which at the first concert given in this city by her was suffering from the fatigue of a sea voyage, has regained all its pristine power and crystalline brilliancy. Signor Braga, the eminent violoncellist and composer, played an admirable caprice in ‘Sonnambula’ with the ease, finish and expression that characterized the master virtuoso. Mme. Carreno Sauret, pianiste; Mr. Hablemann, tenor; Signor Ferranti, basso buffo, and M. Sauret, violinist, appeared on this occasion and made each a favorable impression by the satisfactory manner in which they rendered the morceaux set down for them. Ferranti trolled forth ‘Largo al Factotum’ with a dash and brio that brought the ideal barber of Seville before the audience. Herr Carlberg’s orchestra played a couple of numbers. The company has won genuine success in Boston and now may be considered as possessing the chief component and desirable elements of a first class concert troupe. The results of last night’s concert were so favorable that another Sunday concert may be essayed with every prospect of similar public appreciation.”
