Goetterdaemmerung at the Metropolitan Opera
Götterdämmerung was staged for the second time this season at the Metropolitan Opera House last evening. Toscanini conducted once more with a notably fine reading of the score. The same cast performed, with Burgstaller substituting for the indisposed Schmedes as Siegfried.
Opera House performance ends with frail cast despite Fremstad’s brilliance
The article describes a strained show with Ter and Burgstaller ill and unable to sing fully, yet both agreed to perform. Mme Fremstad delivered a superbly eloquent Brunnhilde, delivering a memorable interpretation, while other singers were in good voice and the house bill noted Ter’s consent to sing despite illness.
