Abramson Opera Company Stages Aida at American Theatre
Last evening the Abramson Opera Company offered Aida to a fair audience at the American Theatre. Helena Therry sang the title role with strong acting and voice while Bari and Arcangeli as Radames and Amonasro drew hearty applause. The third act trio and Beri in Radames’s role earned notable accolades. Also praised were Milo Strauss as Amneris and the Lucia afternoon performance. Fedora, Giordano’s new Italian opera, presented by Abramson, marked a rare novelty of the season at popular prices with Therry as Fedora and Torre as Count Loris. Professor Lewis N. Chase sails for France to study French influence on the English Pre-Raphaelites at Bordeaux under Le Breton and Castre, aiming to write on French debt to English drama.
