The "Nozze di Figaro," in which the gifted singer warbled the part of Susanna with unusual grace and feeling (supported by Parodi as the Countess, and Alboni as Cherubino), was the last opera in which Madame Sontag appeared during the season of 1849. Her success had been all that could be hoped - far greater indeed than had been expected. Under the guise of her engaging smile, fortune seemed again to have beamed upon the theatre. At all events, the promise for the ensuing season of 1850 was more cheering under the new auspices of Sontag than might have been anticipated a few months before.
