Giordano Fedora Opens at Metropolitan with Cavalieri and Caruso
Umberto Giordano’s Fedora debuts in America at the Metropolitan Opera House with Lina Cavalieri as Fedora and Enrico Caruso as Loris Ivanoff. The performance draws a large audience amid praise for Cavalieri’s dramatic presence and Caruso’s powerful singing, though critics note uneven musical heightening of Sardou’s drama and some overextended vocal effects.
