The first woman was Pozzi, of whom, at parting I must observe, that although she had deservedly risen to the head of her profession, was a good singer, and had a voice of uncommon clearness and brilliancy, yet its tones were so bird-like, and there was such a want of feeling in her manner both of singing and acting, that she was on the whole a cold and uninteresting performer. The tenor was Scovelli, the second man Manzoletto... The opera was Arminio, by Tarchi, composed expressly for Marchesi, with whose performance I was very much pleased.
