"The orchestra is composed of solo per- [32] formers, and all professors of the highest standing — over 40 in number, the whole under the magic direction of the most distinguished master and composer, Sig. L. Arditi, of Euro- pean fame, and well known as one of the greatest living composers.

Sig. Poliani. " With this announcement Chicago was form- ally introduced to grand opera.
