In one respect, compared with every one who had been in my time, she was alone, in right, perhaps of the studies of her early days as a singer of Mozart's music." It was after these last London seasons that Mme. Sontag undertook an American tour. She died in Mexico. The great Mme.
"Signor Graziano, Miss Goneril Hamelyn," said Miss Prunty, rather severely. Goneril felt that the time had come for silence and good manners. She sat quite quiet over her embroidery, listening to the talk of Sontag, of Clementi, of musicians and singers dead and gone.
He was too generous and liberal, and in spite of the large sums of gold that had been paid to him on Camilla’s account he found himself in actual distress at the breaking up of the Sontag combination. With reasonable prudence they could have saved enough to enable them to retreat to the more prosperous field in the Northern States.
'And there, said Marx, at the end of this long rigmarole, 'the matter ended, and I never heard another word about it. One day I learned that Countess Rossi, the renowned Henriette Sontag, who was living in quiet seclusion in Berlin, had pleasant recollections of me in Dresden, and wished me to visit her.
Enthusiasm of the Critics and the Public. Introduction of Pasta to the English Public in Rossini's "Otello." The Impression made in England. Recognized as the Greatest Dramatic Prima Donna in the World. Glances at the Salient Facts of her English Career. The Performance of "Il Crociato in Egitto." She plays the Male Rôle in "Otello." Rivalry with Malibran and Sontag.
The following year Sontag also sang with Malibran in London, her greatest success being in Carolina, the principal character of Cimarosa's "Il Matrimonio Segreto." Mile. Sontag was now for the first time assailed by the voice of calumny. Her union with Count Rossi, consummated more than a year before, had been kept secret on account of the dislike of his family to the match.
He was now eager for a love-match with the fair Henriette, whose attractions had rendered him temporarily forgetful of those of Muskau. But Mademoiselle Sontag, though carried away by the passionate wooing of the prince, actually remembered that she had other ties, probably her engagement to Rossi, to which it was her duty to remain true.
Thus courted and flattered, possessed of ample wealth and rank, idolized by her friends and respected by the great world, Henrietta Sontag passed nearly twenty swift, happy years at the different European capitals to which her husband was successively accredited. Countess Rossi was never entirely forgotten in her brilliant retirement.
Talma, Mademoiselle Duchesnoir, Mademoiselle Mars, triumphed at the Francais; Mademoiselle Georges, at the Odeon; Nourrit, Levasseur, Madame Damoreau, Taglioni, at the Opera; Sontag, Pasta, Malibran, and Rubini at the Italiens. The Viscount de la Rochefoucauld wished in every way to raise the moral level of the theatre.
Then in a moment the bright dream came to an end. Madam Sontag and her opera company set out for Mexico, leaving Camilla and her father in New Orleans. She would return soon and in the mean time Camilla could wait and by study and practice prepare for a new tour through the Northern States in the Spring.
