Review 1:

Review of Cecil Smith in Musical America

With Risë Stevens again in the title role and Wilfred Pelletier conducting, the fourth performance of Mignon was decidedly superior in general smoothness of execution to the three that have preceded it this season. James Melton returned to the role of Wilhelm Meister, which he had relinquished to Giuseppe Di Stefano last time. Jerome Hines was the Lothario, and Marilyn Cotlow, the Philine. The other participants were Jean Browning-Madeira (who sang the Gavotte more flexibly than before), Alessio De Paolis, Osie Hawkins, and Lawrence Davidson: The principals in the first act gypsy dance were Marina Svetlova, Leon Varkas, Alfredo Corvino, and Richard Goltra.
