So far all was well; and I think it will be allowed that the authorities here had left nothing undone that they ought to have done, in order to make the concerts literally as good and as attractive as possible. Well, sir, Tuesday, the day for the first concert, arrived; and about one o’clock the Worcester coach arrived. By the coach came Signor Tamburini and M. de Beriot, accompanied by Madame Malibran—and (most unfortunately) Madame Malibran came, accompanied with—what an Irishman would call—a great big cold! This was an ill omen to commence with. “Thus bad begins, but worse remains behind;” for just as the doors were about to be opened, the lady informed the stewards that it would be impossible for her to sing that evening! This proved a sore annoyance to the Committee, and a very great disappointment to the public, who were flocking in crowds to hear this far-famed prima donna; but on being informed that Madame Malibran could not sing, hundreds turned away without entering the Hall.
