FORDS NEW THEATRE,
TENTH STREET, BETWEEN
E AND F.
_____
SECOND GRAND CONCERT,
SUNDAY EVENING, JUNE
20, 1864
_____
MAD. CECILIA Y.
KRETSCHMAR,
Prima Donna Cathedral
de St. Alloysius.
Madame Kretschmar has been long and favorably known to the
citizens of Washington. To say that she
ably and fully sustains the position which she occupies is but a faint
expression of the merit she deserves. As
an artiste, she stands first in rank and excellence; as a lady of moral worth,
she has no superior.
M. THEODORE
HABELMANN,
Tenore de Grazia,
Anschutz’s Grand Opera, New York.
HERR JOSEPH HERMANNS,
Basso Profundo of Her
Majesty’s Royal Theatre, London.
HERR S. G. STEPHANI,
Prince of Pianists,
whose eminent service have been secured expressly for the mammoth production of
Sacred Song.

To speak of the trio who are to support her on this occasion
would be a waste of time. They are so
world-renowned that pen fails to accord to them descriptive appreciation
bestowed upon their fruitful talents by an idolizing public, who are more than
ever ready to welcome them to the innermost recesses of musical soul.
This entertainment has been arranged and perfected by the
friends of Madame Kretschmar, as a grand compliment to her and the renowned
artists who support her, proving to Messrs. Hermanns and Habelmann the
cherished recollections consequent upon their late brilliant engagement with
our par excellent manager, Mr.
Grover.
No labor will be spared to render it acceptable to the honor
of all concerned. Most choice gems of
sacred composition have been selected, and will be given to satiate the highest
anticipations of all who may favor this festival with their presence.
Mr. Ford has generously tendered the use of his beautiful
temple of the drama, that all may be accommodated with the seats as comfortable
as may be desired. So unexpected was
this mark of courtesy upon the part of Mr. F., that even at this early moment,
the management beg leave to tender their heartfelt thanks and gratitude in
reciprocity of kindness.
The military and civil authorizes, too, have tendered their
consent and protection. Let them be
assured the compliment will not pass unrewarded.
Madame K. further begs leave to tender to her numerous friends,
who have so generously aided her in former expressions of favor, her sincere
thanks, together with her assurance that the approaching soiree, as announced,
will be rendered far more brilliant than any former presentation.
Seats may be secured at the music store of W. G. Metzerott,
corner of Eleventh street and Pennsylvania avenue, and at the box office of the
theatre, on and after Friday morning, June 17.
