The recent triumph of this great bari¬ tone at Covent Garden was to be expected after his successes on the Continent, where he was pronounced by the critics to be one of the greatest artists of the time.
It is with pleasure that we are able to offer three splendid solos by this famous singer, besides three selections from Ernani, including two made with the assistance of the chorus of La Scala, Milan.

NICOLA ZEROLA, Tenor
Nicola Zerola, the new tenor of the Manhattan Opera House, can almost be said to be self taught, as he studied barely two years at the Conservatory of Naples, where he acquired the fundamentals of the art; and this knowledge he applied to self tui¬ tion, developing his voice by a daily system of exer¬ cises. That this system was highly successful none can doubt who hears the smoothness of his singing and the power and brilliancy of his high tones.
With its customary promptness, the Victor has secured the exclusive services of this great tenor, and now presents three splendid records of his voice — two arias from Verdi’s Masked Ball, including the exquisite Barcarolle, one of the most beautiful of °p' tMl'llkm zerola all tenor airs; and the impressive Death Scene from
Othello, which Zerola sings superbly. Victor audiences are to be congratulated on the exclusive engagement of this famous singer.
