She had sung but a few passages when the audience recognized the beautiful quality of her voice--pure round and fresh--and though not as powerful as one would wish to hear in Norma still with volume sufficient to give a perfect interpretation of the music of the part. Her method is excellent and exhibits evidence of her Italian training."</p> [Boston]: Transcript Job Printing Office, 1863.
