CONCERT TO COMMENCE AT EICHT O'CLOCK. Culcniut Steam PreBBCB. f BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH. Madamb Anma Bihhop (Schctltz), the great EngliHh prima donna, waH bont in London. Belonging to a family oi afliaence and excellent social fosit'ton, she received at an early age the advantages of a thorough musicHi •diioation. As her stndiefl progressed, it became apparent tUnt nhe possessed ver.r remarlfable musical talent, and, by the advice of her friendn, she was entered in the Boyal Aoadetuy of Music, where she became remarkably hkillCul as a pianist. The parents of Madam Anna Bishop at first destined her fur this instrument, and, evenlnally, confided her to the care of M. Moscheles, the great German ma-ioian, who was the instructor also of Mendelsshon and Liszt In the meantime her voice deve'oped into a sweet tmd pure soprano of exti-aordinary capacity, and it was decided fur her to become a singer. The wisdom of such a decision has been proved by the wonderful sucoess that has orowned her Efforts as a vocalist. Madame Bishop's progress ia vocal art was so rapid and pronounced that, wh>n qtiite young, she wai prepared to make her debut in Jjondon at a concert, tit wh^rik also appeared Onsi, Garcia, Persiani, JKubini, Tamburini and Lab- laohe ; jThalbeig and Dohler presided at the pianoforte, and Bochsa at the harpw Xotwithataoding this atupenaoos array of talent, never exceeded, if equalled, in the annals of conoert4[iving, the youthful oantatrice created a furort, and wade one of the most brilliant debuts on record. Madam Bishop was engaged to appear at the great musical festivals of Gloucester, Worcester, York, and Hereford. Not satisfied with her great successes In Greit Britain, Madame Bishop started upon a grand tour of Europe, and »ang before nearly all of the Crowned Heads of that continent, receiving Huperb gifts from Royalty, being leceived sobially in their pulaces, and pro- ducing, an enthusiasm among all classes. At Upsala, after her concert, three hundrad students assembled and cicorted her a.4 far as the hotel where shti resided, and afterward serenaded -her, under the window. The next day they formed, a oavaloade, and accompanied her as far as the gates of the town, making the air ring with their huzzas. Madam Bishop is not only a great vocalist, but is also an extraordinary linguist, speaking fluently eight or nine languages. In Russia, Denmark, and elsewhere, she sang the national ballads in their native laogaages, producing an immense sensation. At Moscow, in Russia, she itang the part of Altet in "Robert leDiable,"in the Ruasian langwtqe, a feat of stupendous difficulty. Madame Bishop had a three yeart' engagement at San Carlo Opera House, in Naples, a Httocess never achieved by any prima donna since Malibran, During Madame Bishop's European tour, she appeared in opera and con* certa for several years, her popularity never waning, but absolutely increasing. Aa the radiance of her charms became steadily augmenting, her auditors joined in the most extravagant Wtena of delight imd appreciation. With a love for traveling that almost amounts to a passion, Madam Bishop iSecided to make a concert tour of the entire glebe, and if our space permitteo, we might go into detail find mention the enthusiastic reception this great vocalist received in China, 'Japan, Australia, New Zealand, Sandwich Islands, India, Africa, North and South America, and elsewhere. Suffloe it to say that Madam Bishop's progress was a series of successea, whereby she reaped fame and fortune, and also caused , her to become the gretiteot female traveler as well as thb most wiokly known living pbxiu ookna. Of coarse such a musical career has been neoessoiily replete with the most exciting experiences. Many remember reading of the time when Madam Bishop luid troupe were traveling through a forest In Mexico, and were attacked by bandits. Upon lebrnino the name of their fair eaptive, Bochsa was required ta get down his harp and perform, and Madame Bishop's silverv tones rang through the forest in some of her choicest ntorceaux. Tbe delighted bandits then jatrto— >y allowed the tronpn to proeee;! unmolested,, although their Uit eapUv4 MTAti Uden with mone^ aui^ jeweU. In fact, these cataukm absolutely escorted the party for a considerable distance, in order to protect them from others that might not be so susceptible to the charms of music. Nearly everybod/ is familiar with the account of Madam Bishop's ship* Wreck in the Tacifio Ocean, and of the hardships uudergone after this mishap, T>e!ng, in fact, many days exposed to wind and weather, in an open boat. At'this time, Madame Bishop lost an immensely valuable stock of jewels and presents given her by Earopean monarchs and rulers of various climes, besides her ward> robe and music. Hhe still retains and wears at her concerts some jewelry of rare value and design, given her by celebrated solons of royalty. Madame Anna Bishop is a member of the Philharmonio Sooieties at Copen« hagfn. Florence, and Vienna, of the great musical sooieties of St. Petersburg, Moscow, Palermo ; an Associate of the Society of Santa Cecilia, at Rome, etc. And now this truly great abtdstb and wonderful woman is making another tc or of the American Continent, retaining still her magnificent voice and fault- le s method, it has been remarked, by eminent musical professors, that to hear Madam Bishop's interpretation of oratorio, operatic, and ballad music, is one of the BEST iiBssoKs students of the vocal art can possibly seoore. It is entirely probable that Madame Bishop has been heard by iiobb pboplb than any artiste that history records. In some respects, she is the obeaticsx ▲UTisT uow on the concert stage . Personally, she has thousands of warm friends^ of all climes and kindreds, and wherever she appears in concerts, the magnetism of her name, which for a number of years haa oeen the synonim of all that is TBOB and bbai. in vocal art. attracts the learning, culture, and fashion of th» place, who assemble en maase to do honor to sudi consummate ability. It is reported that Madam Bisliop is compiling • history of her travds, which will be r«plete with reminiscences of the greatest musicians of modem times. Evmlnj Po4(, San Francisco, says: — "England," said Mendelssohn, sen-* cntiously, "has given three great gingers to Italy — Clara NovellOi Cathorine Hayes and Anna Bishop." They were a grand trio — women with the stanch, lasting English physique, plus tbo gloriuiis Italian training, a combination that makes extraordinary sing* on. The.'ie throe uphold their supremacy when there was no lack of prima donnas. Madame Anna Bishop remains the last of that groat school of vocalists which began with Sloroce nearly a hundred years ago. Oh, the memories thai come with that neat figure as it trips on to the stage ! The recollections of tri- umphs won when Grisi and Viardot, Alboni and Cruvelli, Lind and Porsiani, were acknowledged queens of song ! Of tales of adventure and travel, of peril by flood and field, of wrock, robbery and danger 1 Of all these and more survived , and conquered until admiration of pluck and endurance grows until it would aU most forgive vocal deficiencies did thoy exist. Madamb Akma Bishop's fliKoiNO Is a thing to bo watched and studied. The secret of her success li in her method.. Mo voice, however naturally beautiful, can last if it bo badly trained or badly 'managed, and if any ambitious young lady wishes to pjreservo her voice fur a whole lifotimo, she must do as Madams Bishop does — that is, open her mouth and liit the sound como clear from tbe larynx, without affectation or hlodranuif. * TwKKTir-FivK Tkars of Tbavkl And good fortune, she elects to begin her firewell trip in San Francisco. H«r moaza-vuico singing is still superb ; hor upper note* clear, sweet and rewnaui, her scales and shakes brilliant and facile, and her iigure, gestures, attitudes and exprension, exactly, precisely and entirely like what they were when first sht» mndo her bow in America. If fhis bo really what we hope it is not— her farewel i trip — wa can only counsel every one who wishes to know what good slnjifig !;, S» MP and h4»r kMft /' ■-sc?^ -iv:;_i,>d-.yC <:?r': W ltll43WMl II' 1^ :. :- —PIANO SOLO, G'raM(/ i?/ni/W/f de Concert V ' . ■ MR.
