Miss May -- the New American Soprano
Below the reader will find an extract from the Paris correspondent of the Philadelphia North American concerning the rising American cantatrice. Many of our fellow-citizens will remember her as Miss Juliana May, the daughter of our late fellow-citizens, Dr. George May, and the cousin of Dr. John Frederick May, the Hon. Henry May, and Col. Charles A. May, U.S.A. Her mother is the daughter of the late Theodore Lee, Esq., and the sister of Mrs. Joseph Gales of this city. Possessing a remarkable voice and figure, the latter giving evidence of a strong constitution, this talented and beautiful young lady has studied her profession much longer and more assiduously, under the best masters of Italy, than any other American. We have frequently heard of her eminent success and promise, from travellers on the continent, and have looked forward to hear of her brilliant debut with great interest indeed. We fear that it will be some years before she returns to the United States, as the Empressarios of Europe will hardly be apt to let such an operatic card as she turns out to be, slip through their fingers, if money can retain her in Europe.
An American cantatrice is rising on the musical horizon, and, to judge from present efforts, bids fair to shed abroad no faint light when she attains to her noonday attitude; or, in more appropriate language, to make her roulades and fioreture heard some day far and wide. Miss May is the name of this American swan, or nightingale, whichever appellation the lady most delights in -- a songstress not unknown, if I am rightly informed, to the musical world of Philadelphia, and now just returned with renewed inspiration from Italy
