Review 1:

Review in the World

Michael Bohnen was to have made his first appearance as Hans Sachs in "Die Meistersinger" at the Metropolitan last night, but fate or bronchial trouble must have decreed otherwise, for Friedrich Schorr sang the role in his stead. Mr. Schorr proved thereby how rich in Wagnerian basses the Metropolitan is this season, for he gave his familiar performance with all the dignity and sweetness and vocal beauty that made his appearance with the German opera company a year ago such a notable event. Mme. Rethberg again lent her lovely voice to the role of Eva, Kathleen Howard was an unfamiliar, but decidedly successful, Magdalena, and Mr. Taucher, singing well, but over-fond of singing straight to the audience, was Walther. Others in the cast were Mr. Rothier as Pogner, Mr. Schützendorf as Beckmesser, and Mr. Meader as David. Mr. Bodanzky conducted with his wonted vigor and the chorus sang and moved well. An excellent performance as a whole, worthy of one of the best revivals the Metropolitan has made in several seasons.
