CABEL, Mme. Correct the existing article by the following:–Her name was properly Cabu; she studied at the Conservatoire in 1848–9, and in the latter year made her début at the Opéra Comique, with little effect, in ‘Val d'Andorre’ and ‘Les Mousquetaires de la Reine.’ She was next engaged at Brussels for three years, and obtained a great success. After performances at Lyons and Strasaburg she was engaged at the Lyrique, Paris, for three years, and made her first appearance Oct. 6, '53, as Toinon, on production of ‘Le Bijou Perdu’ (Adam). She also appeared in new operas, viz. ‘La Promise’ (Clapisson), Mar. 16, '54, and ‘Jaguarita l'Indienne’ (Halévy), May 14, '55. In 1854 she came to England with the Lyrique company. She first appeared on June 7 in ‘Le Bijou,’ and made a great success in the ‘Promise,’ ‘Fille du Régiment,’ and ‘Sirène,’ in spite of the inferior support given by the above company. On Feb. 23, '56, she reappeared at the Opéra Comique on the production of ‘Manon Lescaut’ (Auber), and remained there until 1861, her best new parts being Catherine, on the revival of ‘L'Étoile du Nord’; and April 4, '59, as Dinorah on the production of ‘Le Pardon de Ploërmel.’
