Part of review for Harrison's Sunday Evening Concert series. "On Wednesday next the same artists [Parepa, Mills, Rosa, Thomas] sing a popular concert. Itw ill be an operatic night--the programme being made up of the best known pieces of the Italian, German and French operatic repertoire. The idea is a good one, and will unquestionably please the popular taste."
