Obituary.6

From the Era :-
"DEATH OF MRS. ALMOND,
The much esteemed lady and celebrity vocalist, so popular as the prima donna of the English lyric stage under her maiden appelation of Miss Emma Romer, died Tuesday last, at her residence, Clifton-terrace, Margate, aged fifty-four. There are few names which are likely to call up a series of more delightful recollections than the one we are now sadly including in the theatrical obituary of the year. Miss Emma Romer was born in 1814, and from her earliest infancy exhibited a strong inclination for the stage, which may be accounted for by the circumstance that most of her relations were directly or indirectly connected with professional pursuit. Her eldest sister was for many years a favourite dancer, one of her brothers was an actor, and another had turned his attention to dramatic composition. At the age of fifteen Miss Emma Romer was placed under the musical guidance of Mr. Watson, soon after which Sir George Smart was requested to undetake the guidance of her voice; but his terms were beyond the reach of her anxious parents, and she was, therefore, articled for three years to Mr. Elliott, of the "Ancent Concetts." The Theatre was, however, her manifest destination, and on Saturday, October 16th, 18430, when Sheridan's opera of The Duenna was performed at Covent-garden, the bills announced "Donna Clara by a young lady - her first appearance n stage." That young lady was Miss Emma Romer; and, on the same night, the famous Scottish tenor, Mr. John Wilson, who died some years back in Canada, made his debut in London as Don Carlos. The cast was further rendered interesting by Isaac Mendoza being played for the first time by Mr. Keeley, and the Denna, also for the first time, by Ms. Gibbs.  Miss Romer's success was undeniable. The voice was pronounced to be of first rate quality, possessing great volume and compass, and her reception gave the debutante the warmest encouragement to pursue her career. When the English adaption of Auber's Fra Diavola was produced at the same Theatre (November 3rd, 1831), Miss Emma Romer was the character more charmingly embodied. When the Lyceum Theatre was rebuilt, and opened as the new English Opera house, Miss Romer was secured as principal vocalist; and when Mr. John Barnett's opera of The Mountain Sylph was produced (August 26th, 1834) her greatest triumph was gained in the part of Eolia. After the death of Madame Malibran, Miss Romer became a member of the Drury-lane company, where she succeeded to several of the arts of the distinguished singer, and besides delighting the public as Cinderella, and Amina in the Sonnanbula, acquired fresh fame as the heroine of Barnett's opera of Fair Rosamond, produce at that Theatre, February 28th, 1837. The previous year her marriage had taken place with Mr. George Almond, of the firm of Moore and Co., hatters, Bond-street; but her professional triumphs were still associated with the name under which they had first been achieved. Her extensive repertoire was afterwards familiarised to the public by the directorship of the English National Opera at the Surrey Theatre, where for several successive summers Miss Romer was eagerly welcomed by the public. Her she sang the leading parts in Donizetti's Favorita, Rossini's William Tell, Balfe's Bohemian Girl, Wallace's Maritana, Meyerbeer's Robert the Devil, and Weber's Der Freyschutz. In 1852 the Surrey summer campaign was unusually brilliant, but soon after Miss Romer retired from the stage. Her husband, who had been in partnership with his brother, Mr. Thomas Almond, as Army contrator n St. James's-street, died in November 1853. In private life Miss Romer was universally esteemed. Her health had been failing for some time past, and an attack of spasms of the heart was the immediate cause of death. The family has been singularly distinguished - by the musical talent of it members. Her brother, Mr. Frank Romer, is known as a composer of great excellence; another brother, Mr. Robert Romer, is the well known comedian of the Adelphi Theatre; one of her sisters is the wife of Mr. Mark Lemon; Mr. William Romer, who was a popular tenor under the name of Travers, and who died in May, 1855, in his thirty-eighth year, was another member of the family; and Miss Ann Romer, a cousin of the late prima donna, who was a great favourite on the lyric stage of Liverpool, became the wife of Mr. William Brough, whilst her sister married the late Mr. Robert Brough, Mrs. Almond has left no children, but her loss will be deeply mourned by her relatives and family."
