MADAME SCHUTZ’S CONCERT.—This Lady has addressed a letter to the Editor of The Morning Chronicle, respecting the postponement of her Concert, at the Argyll Rooms. She states that after the robbery, by which the sustained a sever loss, Madlle. Sontag, Madame Pasta, and the greater part of the best artists in London, came forward with the greatest kindness, and encouraged her to arrange a Concert as soon as possible, in which they offered to assist to the almost of their power. M. Laporte also gave his promise to do so. The Concert was then announced—boxes were let, and tickets sold, when M. Laporte declared that he would not allow Madlee. Sontag and Mons. Zuchelli to sing at the Concert without reaping some advantage from it; expressed himself willing to grant if, if Madame Schutz was to consent to give her Concert at the King’s Theatre, instead of Argyll Rooms, and to share her benefit with him. Madame Schutz, fearing to create dissatisfaction with the public, complied with the conditions of M. Laporte; but Madlle. Sontag and Messrs. Pixis and De Beriot, considering the demand of M. Laporte unreasonable, and being unwilling that he should profit by their assistance, realised their support, and Madame Schutz was therefore obliged to renounce the intended Concert. Madame Schutz adds, that the money which has been pain upon tickets would be returned; but hops that she may yet be enabled to offer a private Concert to her friends and the public.

MADAME SCHUTZ.—This deserving favourite of the Public takes her Benefit Concert at the Argyll Rooms this morning. So much interest has been created for this Lady by the pecuniary loss she has sustained, that there is every reason to believe her Concert, even with less powerful attractions than it will boast in Madame PASTA and Madlle. SONTAG, would have been very successful: with the aid of these celebrated performers, there can be no doubt that on this occasion Madame SCHUTZ may confidently anticipate some satisfactory compensation for her recent misfortune.

Reviews

The Morning Post (June 10, 1828): 3.

MADAME SCHUTZ’S CONCERT.

The Concert of this talented Lady at the Argyll Rooms, yesterday, was, we are happy to say, thronged with an elegant and very numerous company, and one of the most attractive the season has produced.

The programme embraced an excellent selection of vocal and instrumental morceaux. La Gentile CARADORI sang ROSSINI’S Di piacer in a very pretty and effective manner; and PASTA, PACINI’S Il soave most delightfully. A duetto from the Freischutz, by Mad. STOCKHAUSEN, and “La Benéficiana,’ in German, was also extremely well sung. Mademoiselle SONTAG sang the same variations on the “Swiss Boy,” she sang before his MAJESTY; and also with Madame SCHUTZ the beautiful Duet “Si tu m’ami,” the execution of this latter piece was very superior, it was a happy blending of melody, harmony, and expression. That talented artist, VOGT, and his no less promising éleve, GRATTAN COOKE, performed a Duetto for two Oboes in masterly style. BRAHAM sang the Grand Scena from the Freischutz; and the humorous DE BEGNIS, in the Quintetto, “Oh Guardate,” put the numerous company into good humour with his comic talents.

MADAME SCHUTZ’S,

At the Argyll Rooms, Monday Morning, 9th June.

EVERY vocal performer in London belonging to the foreign corps, including Pasta and Sontag, lent their aid on this interesting occasion. Messrs. Moscheles, Pixis, the Bohrers, Spagnoletti, and Mori, also assisted in the instrumental department; and we hope that the receipts more than compensated Madame Schutz for the serious loss she has sustained by a dishonest servant.
