Onegin in 'Walküre'

A singularly smooth and brilliant performance of "Die Walküre" was given at the Saturday matinee. The distinguished cast contained for the first time this season Sigrid Onegin, who appeared as Fricka. Mme. Onegin again demonstrated that she is one of the truly important singers of this day; a golden voice of a distinct individuality, and a charming, intelligent personality to direct her natural endowments - what more could a listener demand?

Mme. Matzenauer is in glorious form this season. In her familiar and always impressive delineation of Brünnhilde she again had the artistic collaboration of Clarence Whitehill as Wotan. The role of Siegmund was in the competent hands of Rudolf Laubenthal, while Elisabeth Rethberg again provided her musicianly and striking conception of Sieglinde. William Gustafson was Hunding. Artur Bodanzky has reason to feel satisfied with his conducting of this work and with his noble band of musicians in the orchestra pit and on the stage.
