FI10US SOP ni is Francesca Zaratl, tho eminent French prima donna soprano of tho Chicago Grand Opera company, will be heard in concert in the Houston opera house, Tuesday night, Novem ber 18, under the local direction of the Klamath County High School Student Body association. Few of the younger generation of singers have been so signally hon ored as has Zarad. When war was declared sho was one of the leading sopranos of the Vienna grand opera, a government controlled organiza tion. She had appeared with suc cess at the operas of Berlin, Ham burg and at tho renowned Wagner Ian festivals at Beyrouth. When Hammorstein was a grand opera impressarlo, he brought Mme. Zarad to this country for a number of appearances. She sang with his organization in London, England, and Ailed a number of engagements with the Montreal Opera company. Since her arrival In this country about twenty months ago, Madame Zarad has appeared in more than S5 great educational institutions in concert and as soloist with the sym phony orchestras. Her program for Klamath Falls will bo a rarely beautiful one, and it is constructed with the idea that the audience prefers knowing some thing of tho numbers to bo sung, rather than to show off her own vo cal flights, numbers less attractive to tho general run of concort goers. Tho program will bo mostly in Enclish. Tho few foreign language numbers sung will be translated into English by Madame Zarad before she sings them. Klamath Falls music lovers are fortunate to have an op portunity of hearing this fine singer, Tickets for tho performance will gc on sale hero tomorrow at noon at the Bonbonioro store.
