Lohengrin at the Boston Theatre a disappointing performance

Last night Lohengrin at the Boston Theatre drew sharp critique of the cast and the orchestra. Reichmann excelled despite a sprained ankle while others, including Wiesner and Damrosch, drew harsh scrutiny for tone, vibrato, and coordination. The review condemns the ensemble as dreadful and the conducting as brisk and discordant, urging the home orchestra Seidl’s Boston outfit as a superior standard.
