Madame Fursch-Madi.

Below we present a life-like portrait of the new and famous dramatic soprano and directress of the National Conservatory, Madame Fursch-Madi, who is announced to appear in the. second season of American grand opera, and will make a tour of the country under the management of Messrs. Zimmerman and Nixon.

Madame Fursch-Madi has appeared before the public of the large cities of this country several times, at the popular singing festivals, where she has assumed leading roles. She was bom in Bayonne, on the Spanish frontier of France, her family being of Alsatian origin, and she thus combines the French animation with the German musical talent. Her success has been phenomenal, both in Europe and this country. and another brilliant season is anticipated.
